A Safe Return Home/I Figured It Out (I think)

I'm safely back in the Mtns of NC. I made it home late
yesterday and as how it usually takes place after
sitting behind the wheel for 10+ hrs my ankles and
lower legs had swollen just enough for me not to take
a chance on hurting myself. :( However, Today Is A New
Day! AND... I have a nice run planned for this
afternoon! My weekly mileage is at about 50% of normal
this week, and I can tell you that it has not been
easy. I'm getting a little antsy.

Oh, I believe I have
found the culprit to my knee issue... About 10 days ago
I changed the laces in my running shoes over to the
elastic lock type and I just have not been able to get
them adjusted correctly before each run. Sometimes too tight
on the top of my foot, another time tight at the
toe... VERY Inconsistent to say the least and I don't
enjoy any inconsistency concerning my shoe,
Nike Knew What They Were Doing When They Designed
Their Laces... I Should Have Left Them Alone!
Anyway, I believe that due to the laces "pinching" here
and there and unconsciously being forced to limp has affected
my stride and in turn caused the injury... Now that I'm
aware I'll see what I can get accomplished.
