I have two dogs, a cat , a fish and a gorgeous supportive wife who will someday be a runner if she can get her foot problems sorted out.

Nice fall day to run. Lots of leaves through the forest, could barely make out the trail in spots. Still running at medium speed keeping my pulse between 140 and 150. Little stiff at the end but generally feeling good trying to keep good posture and run more on the balls of my feet.

Steeles loop , 48:00 . Running more on the balls of my feet but feel it on the inside of my right knee.  I think I will hold off on this running style until I get more feedback. I believe this style of running is called  the  " pose " method. Also feel it in my calves.

Hip feels much better today.

Ran with my son Aaron. Beautiful day.

Felt a little stiff later in the day. Hip feels a liitle sore but didn't bother me during the run.
