| AM - 4.5 miles on the golf course. So after a week of running - it appears that I can run with the least amount of discomfort in the foot if I use the vibrams on the turf. Not pain- free, but quite nearly. I tried on 4 different pairs of shoes at the running store and tested them all - ranging from an 8 mm drop to a 4. The less the drop, the better the foot felt. I even tried two Hoka models. So I will continue to stay with what's working.

| Was up part of the night with either a stomach bug, or a GI issue with something I ate the night before. No running today.

| AM - feeling better this morning but it was raining with lightning outside, so I did 4 miles in the Vibrams on the treadmill. Tried on a pair of Altra's yesterday - for the zero drop - with cushion, but was not feeling like it was a real solution so I did not buy them.
PM - did another 3.5 miles or so on the indoor track at the gym since it is a softer surface - used the vibrams there too.

| AM - 4 very slow miles on the golf course this morning. Perhaps the second run yesterday sapped my legs a bit. No drive this morning.
PM - lunchtime - ran about 2.5 miles more or less on the indoor track at the gym, but was getting a blister from the new pair of vibrams on the left foot - (which is weird because yesterday, I had no issue with a blister there at all) - and so I shortened what I thought I would run and instead did some indoor rowing followed by some extended foam rolling and stretching.

| PM - 5 miles on the treadmill after work. First 2 miles with vibrams and then the next 3 in the Kinvaras. No noticeable change in pain in the foot with the change - but it is easier to run with the cushion of shoes.

| AM - dog got me up early and I could not get back to sleep - so I went out in the mist/drizzle on the golf course with Finn in the dark. Foot hurt a bit through the night - so I switched back to the vibrams for the run this morning. Very slow. Not painful though. Legs feel a bit fatigued perhaps from increased volume.
