AM - easy 4.25 miles before work.  Noticed some "achy fullness" in the top of the left foot, first metatarsal this morning after the run.  Seems to be a little more than a nuisance-type thing.  It is likely from the Vibrams run yesterday.  In the past the soreness in the foot after a run in the Vibrams seems to disapate within a few days.  Will monitor this closely.  Running too well now to end up with a breakdown for something like this. 

 

PM - short day at work; left around 3 pm hoping to find an outside run in shade and on trails, so I drove to Phillipe Park in Safety Harbor.  But the park is only shaded in a small area - so I ended up running along the bay past the Safety Harbor Spa on a very hot mid-90's afternoon.  Foot was ok - I was very cautious not to push the pace and tried to stay on softer ground where available.  7 miles easy; no problems with the foot afterwards either.

I remember running a couple 10ks along the Bay in Safety Harbor. Shade only helps so much in humid 90 plus weather. Not that I even remember humidity.
