Ran for 70 minutes. Did 8 miles all at 7:30 pace then took it down a notch for cool down until 70 min. Legs felt strong. L foot still hurting. Need a way to navigate from here to Boston with some decent training etc. if possible. Then I can rest the foot and start up again for St. George and NY.

Did one mountain loop of Newport Coast / Pelican Hill and then an out and back along top path at CC.  Really pushed the pace for stretches and felt great!

My brother Tom met me and we did about 5.5 - out top path of CC then back on the beach. There was enough sand to run on today. It was absolutely gorgeous!

Decided I need to stay off of my L foot until I can get checked and make sure I'm not doing permanent damage.

Absolutely thrilling 5k race by Lagat at Reebok Invitational today!! New American record 13:11, and Lagat did most of the work.  What an inspiration and a treasure to watch.  He is looking so smooth.  I am excited to watch him the rest of this season and beyond!

Dr. Johnson looked at xrays and did not see any evidence of a stress fracture - good news!  Diagnosis for now is tendonitis.  It's pretty painful, though.  He suggested a steady course of Alleve for anti-inflammation.  We'll see but at least I know it's just some pain and most likely not causing permanent damage to the foot.  Boston here we come!

Back at work, felt good to be running again. Ran 70 minutes total. Almost all at 7:30 pace or better. Not sure I would call those "Easy Miles" but there you go.  Take that, treadmill!

Knocked out another 70 min run at 4:45 this morning before heading to airport.  Kept average 7:30 pace. Foot is painful but I'm back in play!

75 min. run from Laguna up PCH to Crystal Cove trail all the way to end of Pelican golf course then back. Really pushed tempo in certain spots.  Beautiful day.  Beautiful run!

Still feeling tendonitis in L foot and difficult soreness in L calf area. Continuing with daily Alleve.

Cranked out a tough run to mouth of LC and back. Hills, cold and gunky air. The runs in CA are spoiling me.

Did 3 loops of Pelican Hill - very long uphill stretch, then long downhill.  Then finished with 5.5 miles along CC, rewarded myself with final 2.5 on the beach.  I'm worn out but glad - really my first long run since the half in January and it felt good.  And what a beautiful day!

 The sand is pretty much all back at CC.  The ocean is so powerful.  Thousands of tons of sand were gone a month ago and now it's all back.  The universe takes and gives.

The treadmill conked on me 5.4 miles into my run - started making funny noises - clearly not functioning properly.  I wasn't going to go much farther today - taking it easy after yesterday's long run - but what do you do with a treadmill that isn't working?  Not very easy to ship somewhere.  Should I be upset that it's malfunctioning or should I be proud that I outlasted the machine?

La Caille loop. Was dragging at first. Cold temps and tired legs from Wednesday's long run. Keith caught me in the middle of a tempo run at mile 7 so I picked it up and joined him. That totally helped!

Lame excuse but had family in town and got schedules screwed up.
