3 miles at about 7 min pace then 2 at goal HM pace 5:55-6 cooled down for .5

Fun to run in the rain.  My foot feels lots better today.  I think running relatively short under 7 or so miles every other day and it will heal.  I'm just trying to get in some miles at goal race pace as it's coming down to the wire.

Big congrats to Jing! She became a US citizen today.  It was a long process and a really neat experience at the naturalization ceremony.  Way to go! 

Jogged around the football field at Cottonwood High while James did some mile repeats.  I did a few strides too.  Will take tomorrow off and ride the bike.   

Joined James for a portion of his tempo.  Averaged 6:45-50 for 7 miles and finished with a pickup for .4.

2.6 before bed 

7 easy with Brayden, Ashley and James. 

Woke up and my first steps were painful. I guess my foot hasn't healed as much as I'd hoped. Iced the foot and did ankle and foot PT exercises. I rode the bike hard for an hour.

Afternoon I loaded up on advil and did a short run but about 2 x .5 miles at a good clip. 3.5 total miles. More ice and rehab exercises. Not feeling good about the 1/2, I know I could run it but don't believe it's too smart and my confidence is low due to a poor training cycle. Will be pondering this for a couple days.
