| PM - slightly more than 8 miles easy in the early evening at the end of a rain shower. Tight and sore for the first 4 miles or so, but then loosened up and felt more relaxed at the end. Skipped the morning run in favor of more sleep. | Comments(3) |

AM - 4 miles easy before work. Planning to keep things light easy and aerobic until I start to feel more balanced. PM - 8 miles on the treadmill at lunch. Wore the HR monitor and kept the pace to under 75% HRR (high aerobic) which turned out to be a rather decent sub 7 min pace - surprisingly enough. I felt pretty relaxed and smooth too. I did not expect that. | Add Comment |

AM - 4.5 miles easy this morning as storms were building all around. Left foot outside/underneath fifth metatarsal is appearing to be some area of concern/discomfort. I noticed it on one of the hard downhills off the bridges on Saturday's long run. May have tweaked it a bit.
PM - a little over 8 miles after work around the Feathersound neighborhood and the Carillon office park. Easy effort - little tight at the start - mostly smooth and relaxed after about 3 miles. | Comments(5) |

AM - 4.0 miles very easy this morning. Awoke even more concerned (perhaps more psychological than any actual physical evidence) with the possibility of the beginning signs of an injury to the left foot. There is some achiness the top of the 3rd and 4th metatarsal and underneath the 5th. I iced it last night after my evening run and it felt fine. Ran very gently this morning and really no problems or aggravation to anything - but having had a couple of stress fractures in that foot previously, I am very wary of any little ache or pain there. Plan to run gently and easily for a while and will cut back if things worsen or do not improve. Looking at the calendar - I would just like to maintain my aerobic fitness for a few more weeks and hopefully find myself solidly on the starting line on November 4 - PM - 8 miles on the treadmill at moderate aerobic pace. No real issues with the foot - though I noticed between miles 1 and 2 some discomfort, but that went away when I changed the incline from 1% down to 0. | Comments(6) |

AM - 6 miles easy. Little creakiness in the foot in the first mile but seemed to be fine the rest of the way.
PM - 8 miles easy after work - pleasant run. | Add Comment |

| AM - 4 miles easy. Definitely got something going on with the left foot - seems more localized to the third metatarsal after yesterday evening's run. Not pronounced pain, but it has got my attention. Will keep an eye on it and rest if necessary. | Comments(4) |

| AM - cross training to keep from having impact to the left foot. Cycling 50 miles. Rode down to St. Pete early where Delaney had a soccer game. Watched her game (she scored a goal) and rode back home almost entirely on the Pinellas trail. Good at keeping the HR locked into a moderate aerobic effort - legs have been unfamiliar with cycling for quite some time. So I expect to be sore and tired from the ride. | Comments(2) |
