Had good intentions - but having a big superbowl party at my house scuttled any effort of getting any exercise in today.

AM - in St. Pete (Feathersound) for work for a couple of days.  Ran outside on a wet rainy morning.  First time for a proper run (not on a treadmill or golf course) since the injury.  No discomfort - but felt very tentative - not wanting to cause recurrence or aggravation to the foot - particularly on wet surfaces - so as a result this was more of a jog than a run.  All the same - good to get out and on my feet and not having any cross training miles to record.

AM- went with Richie to a race in Safety Harbor early this morning - registration was closed and would not permit us to sign up - but I wasn't planning to race - but wanted to go for a run and perhaps see how Drew would do today.  Even contacted Suzanne to see if they could get the RD to make an exception - so we just hopped in a hundred yards or so after the start and pretty much ran 7:30 pace.  More miles than I probably needed on on my foot in my gradual resumption of training (2 miles of warm up) and then the 10k.  Drew ran very well - 33:16 is what I think he said. PR and Second place overall. Give him props for a good day on his blog.
