PM - lunchtime on the treadmill 7.25 miles at 7:30 pace, with Richie on the elliptical machine next to me for part of the run.  He has a Morton's neuroma in his left foot that is not improving despite 3 cortizone injections - so he's having surgery on Wednesday, hoping for a full recovery in 6-8 weeks.  He's got some bad feet - this will be the 5th surgery he's had since college.

Anyway - I am doing my best to try to balance the use of the treadmill and running outdoors.  Right now the indoor runs are so much easier than outdoors with all of the heat and humidity.  Will do my second run outside this evening while Delaney is at soccer practice. 

Second PM run - 6.0 miles in Tampa while I waited for Delaney at Soccer Practice.  A tad less humid (87%) tonight actually made it a bit easier and more enjoyable.  Delaney had a "tryout" at cross country before her practice - a 2 mile run which she sandbagged - and we had a chat.  Tomorrow they do a 5k - better report expected for tomorrow.

Time trials every day in cross country practice? Interesting.

Sorry about Richies foot. That is a real bummer.Nice day for you though.

Yeah - have to agree on the time trial thing...

Looks like you had a pretty productive day too.
