PM - 7 miles on the treadmill followed by 1500 meters of indoor rowing. Did a yoga session earlier before church. Run was decent and pain level for the hamstring was around a 1 but following the run I felt really cold and nauseous and there was some achiness in the left foot. I assume it is from the barefoot running I had done earlier in the week - though I did not do any today and never did more than a mile on Friday and Saturday and completely without pain during or following those efforts. Will keep things to a minimum for a few days if it is a stress reaction.

PM - 3.25 miles on the trails with Dan and with Finn after work. Did a mile walk with Finn this morning then 2000 meters of indoor rowing and the 30 mins of yoga. Hamstring pain was less than a 1 - so that's moving in the right direction. The foot is probably fine too, but it will require caution - like if I were to run hard or run barefoot, it could progress to something more serious. So for now, just a few easy miles with full reocovery only in shoes.

AM - 30 minutes on the Peloton and then 1 mile jog on the treadmill to be conservative for the left foot as well as the hamstring. Going to approach it this way for a few days to give some time for recovery.

AM - 3 miles with Finn. Started off thinking we'd just walk and maybe test some running, but once we got started, things felt ok and so I continued with the run. Very little pain in the foot and hamstring pain was less than a 1. I did a yoga session when I got back.

PM - 45 mins on the Peloton and then 2000 meters of indoor rowing followed by some stretching and hamstring strengthenen drills.
