AM - about 3 miles on the golf course with the Vibrams.  Experimenting with what may result in the least amount of problems with the foot. This actually was pretty good.  Minimal post run issues too.

AM - 3.5 miles with the vibrams on the golf course followed by some indoor rowing.  Pleased with how this feels with the foot issue.  Actually a little surprised that it is working so well.

AM - in Philly today for a meeting.  No options for a golf course or turf run - and rain was threatening - so I went to the hotel gym.  Started out on the eliptical - but had foot discomfort, so I removed my shoes and continued without really any discomfort.  I shifted to the treadmill with just socks on my feet with no shoes and did an easy mile - felt great.   Need to figure out if my issue is with my current footwear (Saucony Kinvara) or with shoes in general.  More likely the former.
