Day 34

It is difficult to keep track of the day number as now it doesn't correspond to the day of the month as it did in November.
Am experiencing right ankle pain after every run of a mile which goes away when I start walking, but my foot tends to slip a little in the shoe. I think it has got something to do with my shoes. Will start researching and maybe buy a pair of shoes over the weekend.

Good idea to get your shoes checked. If you have a running store nearby, go there for assistance. Great job, keep it up.
