Staying off the foot - so no run and no options for cross training.

Same as day before.  Foot is still achy.

Tested the foot today.  Probably premature - but without a run or cross training opportunity in days - (and seeing my wife's cousin just finish a run this morning) - I decided to go out for a light jog.  Felt terrible - used a insole to take pressure off of the metatarsals- no discomfort on the run, but a bit of  achiness afterward.

PM - Christmas day run with Riley along the Glen Dale to Moundsvillle Rail Trail which runs along side the Ohio River.   I was surprised that Riley had never been on the trail, and had forgotten that I had introduced Delaney to it previously when we have visited Tracy's family here.  Anyway, foot really did not get too much more achy after the run yesterday and I was itching to get out again.  Running with my daughters keeps me from going too quickly - and I get to chat with them and catch up on things.  By far one of my most favorite blessings I get to enjoy.

It is not a long trail, so we made our way back to Moundsville on a route through town.  Wore insoles in both shoes today.  This was a much better experience than yesterday.  A nice gift to me - possibility of a recovery from a bit of an injury!

Decided not to run - to give the foot a day of rest - even though it really was not hurting, just a little achy.
