AM - regretting having run on the treadmill yesterday - foot was too fatigued and achy (not just the PF - but elsewhere too) - that I did some indoor rowing and cycling on the indoor trainer.  Hoping it will feel better later today.

AM - a little over 6 miles this morning on the golf course with Finn.  Dark and dreary out.  Foot seems to tolerate the grass surface the best.

PM - cross train at lunch.  30 mins on a stationary bike and then 25 mins on the indoor rower followed by some stretching and foam rolling.  The bike at the gym was one of the "tour de france" bikes advertised seemingly incessantly on tv.  Surprised that it was actually fairly well-built and functioned properly - as television ads tend to oversell products such as these in my experience.

AM - 5 miles on the golf course - rainy foggy morning - the course was very soggy with rain most of the night.  Foot actually felt good before I started and really no worse after. Pace was remarkably slow, but it was a run nonetheless; and I am glad I have the option of running on the grass course as a viable alternative of roads or treadmill.  

PM - lunchtime - 40 mins on the stationary bike at the gym.

AM - 6.5 miles with Chris who is a friend of my girls  - a bunch of them came up for the SEC Championship game today.  Quite cold in the upper 20's to lower 30's when we went out.  Turns out Chris' mom holds the masters record for the Turkey Trot in Clearwater.  Had a nice hilly route and good conversation.
