Easy run today after 4 days off to try and let me foot heal. Felt ok today and did not really feel like I was pushing the pace at all. Ended up running 6:41 average pace for the 10 miles with 2.5 miles at 6:12 pace in the middle. Even the 6:12 pace felt easier than marathon pace. The good news is that my foot did not hurt very much. There is still some pain in the same area but it is much improved. I can still feel it on almost every step but it is definetly heading in the right direction. Hopefully it will not get any worse as I run this week. I will continue with easier runs this week and hope for the best.

Easy 6 miles at 7:14 average pace. However, the bad news is I only ran 6 miles because my foot was killing me again. Not as bad as when I had to stop last week but close especially the first 2-3 miles. I will try to run another easy run tomorrow and see if it continues to get worse or not. I am starting to think it is a tendon problem as I cannot flex my toes on the right foot at all when I try. The pain seems to be right at the point where the tendon from the shin area connects to the inside top of the foot. I think it may be anterior tibial tendonitis after doing some research on the internet. The symptoms I am describing fit almost exactly.

Ran easy with my son James this morning. Foot still hurts so I wanted to just run easy and see how things progress. If it feels ok I will do more tomorrow. Continuing with ice and ibuprofin.

Easy 10.6 miles along the Provo River today at about 7:06 average pace. Bad news is that the foot still hurts. The good news is that it is not any worse and the pain may actually be slightly less today. Ice three times a day and ibuprofin overdoses seem to be helping for now. Tomorrow is my last day in Utah for the next 6 weeks. I am off to Fort Lewis, Washington for some sea level training.

Easy 10 miles with Sasha and Nick. Good news is the foot actually felt a little better today. It still hurts but I think it is healing. I will keep up the ice and ibuprofin routine until all of the pain goes away. Well, I will try and post my running on the blog as often as I can while I'm gone but I may only get around to it once every three or four days. Hopefully I will return a skinnier fitter version of myself in 7 weeks! I hit the road about 11:00 today for Fort Lewis, Washington.
