PM - 5 miles on the treadmill at the gym.  

Got blood work results back today from about 2 weeks ago.  RBC - 4.92; HGB - 14.6; HCT 44.4% and Ferritin 100.6.  

Really pretty pleased -  particularly with the Ferritin which 2 years ago was less than 20.

PM - roughly 6 miles outside at lunchtime today.  Everyday is a bit of an unknown as to what the foot will feel like (lately more days than not, it has been tolerable) - today the issues were both in the lower leg (posterior tibial) and in the metatarsals.  The mental image of what's going on in the foot would be something like a bag full of hard candies runover by a car a couple of times.

PM  - spent most of the day at a workday at the church - landscape clean up etc. and then came home to do my own. Quite tired by the end of the day - so just 4 miles on the treadmill to finish out the week with over 40 miles for a change.
