| PM - so the little niggle in the left hip was noticeable even after yesterday's easy 3 miles - as a result I thought it would perhaps help to run on the grass today for a softer impact. Ran barefoot around the inside of the track at PH middle school. I think the barefoot approach was a good move - as I had only a little twinge in first few hundred yards. Hoping this provides a good solution for a little while. It was a slow but enjoyable run.

| PM - roughly 7 miles based on time - on the grass behind my new house and along the 18th fairway of golf course through the woods in back of my house and then around the neighborhood. Not moved in yet - but was up there after work to meet a contractor and so I decided to do a run. Easy going - guarding against aggravation of the left hip. Decent run.

| AM - 3.5 miles very easy this morning from my hotel.
PM - 7 miles easy. Had a really nice run this evening exploring the area around my new home in Milton. Country roads here don't have much in the way of consistent sidewalks or shoulders - so there was a fair amount of running on the grass on the roadside - but found a couple of parts of the route I took had little to no traffic at all - and so had an easier running experience on those less travelled roads. Really picturesque rolling hills - on a couple of roads that looked like they may have had a gravel roadbed (definitely unpaved) - and nearly covered over with dirt/mud over the years. Street sign called one of them, the "Milton Trail," and had a horse under the wording on the sign. Ran past multiple horse farms and encountered several mountain bikers. On the main roads I had two groups of roadbike cyclists go past - completely blocking traffic - without a care. So, lots of people out in the evening engaged in various outdoor activities etc. Felt really pleased with what I expect will be one of my regular new running routes.

| AM - realized I left my running shoes at the house last night, but had my Vibrams with me at the hotel, so my plan was to run easy for about 30 mins in them mostly on the grass where possible. But it was dark and the grass was wet and uneven - so I ended up just running on the sidewalks and roads - very light effort - and because it was so easy I stretched it out a little more than I had originally planned. Nice morning run.

| Not particularly tired or sore - but just thought I should keep my mileage modest this first week. No run today.
