PM - after cutting the grass, I felt as though my foot was warmed up enough that it could tolerate a run on the roads with the Kinvara's. Covered 7 slow miles - probably 2/3rds was on dirt roads or grass. Not a great run but actually not particularly painful to the foot either. Will need to monitor how it feels over the next few hours.

PM - 7.25 miles outdoors at lunch (code Orange smog alert - but I did not notice). Extremely slow pace (never faster than 9 min per mile) but the foot is tolerable. I would much rather run slowly with nearly no discomfort than not run at all, or run faster with pain. I am intentionally running slowly to be controlled (so as to keep from injury) and not to have the effort get beyond aerobic. But it is fairly warm (upper 80s) and my fitness is way down and my weight is up. All fixable with time.

Ran in the Murphy Candler park woods/trail. Reminded me of the Hammock Park in Dunedin (Rob Murphy) except the vegetation is somewhat different (no palmettos or ear tree seed pods with which to fling at others).
