Resuming running 2010 [01/19/2010]

Now that the foot's feeling a lot better, I decide to start back up.
3 miles in 32 minutes! Not bad at all! Especially when I haven't run in more than a month.
Used the Vibram Fivefingers. They felt easy to run in. No pain whatsoever! Infact, after the first 0.5m, I just let go of concentrating on mid-foot strike and running while watching the ground. It felt natural and normal.
Also, I finally got some lights to put on my cap. It's getting really dark. So I get those LED strobe lights that you clip on to the visor of your hat. It was pleasantly bright. Felt safer too.
I feel a lot more confident on giving the marathon a shot this year. But that's just after today's run. Let me get a better feel, then will update my target for the year.
Meals: (Cereal in the morning before leaving home + coffee) + (Quiznos turkey sub + bag of chips + coke) for lunch + (Daal Makhani + 3 rotis) for dinner and beer while playing poker with the guys.

Am going to try out this new site: LogYourRun. What bummed me out was that the free membership at MapMyRun did not get me reports beyond 3 months.
Here's a sample of the run:
