| AM - 4 miles early in some heavy fog before church - hamstring was very painful this morning - way above a 5-6 on the pain scale. Very frustrating.
PM - 2 miles on the trail in the Vibrams - the gait change with the "barefoot" shoes is actually significantly less painful in the hamstring. Slow going of course. May try to do a little of this every couple of days if it seems to be helpful.

| AM - friends Chris and Karen (who are recently married runners who met and competed at the Barclays race) were house guests with us overnight as the made their way from visting family in Florida and heading to their home in Knoxville. Chris who has not been training much but has an ultra on his calendar for July in Washington state - was keen to do a run on the trail (Karen is struggling with an injury and opted-out). Dan and Rosie joined us for 5 miles of interesting conversation about the Barclays race.
PM - yoga.

| AM - just under 4 miles on a muddy Milton trail - rain most of yesterday and forecast for the next two days. Dan was having more issues with his chronic knee and calf issues, so we cut it a little short. I was having more hamstring tendon issues. I did an extra mile as a cool down on the treadmill wearing the vibrams.
PM - yoga at lunchtime
PM - 2000 meters of indoor rowing; 20 min scenic ride on the Peloton

| AM - pretty severe thunderstorms ahead of a cold front kept me indoors today. Did 2000 meters of indoor rowing and then 5 miles on the treadmill - started with the first 400 meters barefoot and then switched to shoes. The shoeless efforts cause me to run more upright and foward for a more mid-foot strike - which helps with the hamstring tendon.
PM - yoga then a 2 mile walk with Finn since he did not get any exercise this morning.

| AM - 5.25 miles with Dan and the dogs from his house to the horsetrail roads. Gimpy on the hamstring at the start, but it loosened some, and the pace was actually ok after the first mile at least looking at the splits after we finished. 2000 meters of indoor rowing after I got home.

| AM - 5.25 miles with Dan and Finn on the trail - good bit cooler with frost this morning. Had a difficult night's sleep with hamstring tendon discomfort. Did some stretching/warming of the hamstring before heading out. Slow going but not as painful as I had expected it to be. Still at times a 3-4 on the pain scale, but intermittently less. 2000 meters of rowing afterward.
PM - 2 miles on the treadmill in the Vibrams. Felt so much less discomfort in the hamstring with the barefoot gait and with the belt requiring less "drive". Doing limited time though without shoes to hopefully avoid any bone stress reactions in my feet. Yoga session afterwards.

| AM - 10k on the trail with Dan and the dogs - chilly again this morning. Right achilles was sore yesterday evening and this morning - I think from the barefoot running. Hamstring about the same - but no worse. Noticed I was short .25 miles of 40 for the week, so did 400 meters on the treadmill.
PM - 2000 meters of indoor rowing and then yoga.
