PM - had a nice longer run this afternoon.  Bit cool with a breeze, but bright sunshine.  Covered about 13.5 miles.  Used the jacuzzi tub in my house for the first time after a run. Left foot was sore/painful yesterday and so I took a couple Aleeve which eliminated the discomfort; no noticable pain during the run today, but feels like I have a stress injury developing there now that I have had a hour or two since the run.  Will try a new pair of shoes tomorrow or the next day...otherwise I may need to switch to cross training for a while.

PM - cross training to give my achy foot a rest.  Indoor water rower - 8000 meters in roughly the time it would take me to run that distance.  Technique requires some concentration and focus - but no impact for my feet which is what I wanted.  

No cross training or running today due to work related conflicts.

Cross training equivalent - indoor rowing machine - 8000 meters.  Not crazy about the machine - but it is good cardio and engages many muscle groups neglected with only running.  When my foot issue subsides, I will want to incorporate more use of this in my normal training.

Rough equivalent of 7.5 miles on an indoor cycle in my hotel in LA.  No rowing machine in the fitness center as an option.  

Travel day back from LA to ATL.  Then prep to travel to WV tomorrow.  No time for cross training.

All day drive to WV from ATL.  No opportunity to cross train.  My foot is still achy and the options for cross training are pretty limited at the in-laws where I will be for this holiday week.  I packed running gear, but I am not sure this is not a blessing in disguise to keep me off the achy foot a bit longer.
