| I swam a mile again at Fairmont Aquatic Center. I did a few laps with the kick board, which is hard! | | Add Comment |

| I swam a mile at Fairmont Acquatic Center. I mixed up the swim more than usual, adding more kick board and a few more drills, along with some "sprints" -- which are more like a mild jog to any decent swimmer. | | Comments(2) |

| Finishing my first week of absolutely no running of any kind in a very, very long time. The cold still lingering, more rest. | | Add Comment |

I ran .50 on the treadmill barefoot to get a sense of how my footfall may be contributing to the plantar fasciitis and to see if I had much pain after the run. I did have some pain that was consistent but not awful. The pain is on the outside of my heel, making me wonder if there is something other than the PF going on.

| I swam 1400m at Fairmont. I cut off a little from the swim as a concession to recovering from this cold. | | Comments(1) |

| No running. No surprise. I swam 1700m at Fairmont. Added more kick boarding and more "sprinting," which I've come to realize is probably a truly heinous sight. | | Add Comment |

No running. I did a 30 minute "cardio" workout on the elliptical cross-trainer in the gym at our office. It actually wasn't bad and involved a somewhat reasonably similar approximation of a simulated emulation of a model of the running form. Did a little core workout after that. It was nice to sweat, at least. Also, there was no noticeable impact on my foot after doing this exercise.

| No running. I did a 33 minute workout on the elliptical cross-trainer. It seems to stress my foot just enough for it to be noticeable, but not painful. | | Add Comment |

| Law Day 5k. Due to injuries, I couldn't really race but I did want to participate. So I pushed the boys in the double stroller and Heather ran along with us too. We finished in about 30 minutes. Jack wanted to get in and out of the stroller to run a few times, so there was quite a bit of stopping and all of that. Not quite the 5k experience I'm used to, but it was fun to be with the family. My foot did pretty well during the race, but predictably, hurt most of the day afterward. I'm planning to stay off of it for the next three weeks at least, then see where I am. Until then, swimming, cross-trainer, etc. | | Add Comment |

| No running, of course. I did 35 minutes on the elliptical cross trainer, with the HR target set at 150, which was no fun because the machine applied huge resistance the whole time and it was like trudging through wet concrete. Short core workout followed. | | Add Comment |

| Swimming at Fairmont Aquatic Center. I swam a mile, with a mix of drills and "sprints." Seeing what actual swim athletes are able to do in the pool is highly discouraging, but I press on. | | Add Comment |

| Another 35 minute workout on the elliptical cross trainer at lunch. HR target was set at 148, which was much better for developing and keeping rhythm. Time actually passed somewhat quickly. Short core workout followed. | | Add Comment |

I swam a half mile at Fairmont. I was tired and running short on time, but I'm glad I went. Still working on improving the foot, ready to turn the corner and start healing.

| No running, no nothing today. Had a super late night last night after Luke bonked his face on the headboard while jumping on Jack's bed, splitting open a big gash between his eyes, requiring trip to ER, plastic surgeon, stitches, etc. Made it home with the boy at 2am. He's all good, back to being Luke shortly after the procedure was done. At lunch I took Jack to an "Itty Bitty Track Meet" at Fairmont Park. They had four events for kids ages 3,4, and 5--broad jump, ball throw, 20 yd run and 50 yd run. Jack was in the 3 year old category and won first place in each event. There weren't many 3 year old boys to compete against, but he did great and more importantly had a lot of fun.

No running. I went swimming at Steiner, where I was limited to 1200 meters because they were closing lap swimming at 9am.
In the afternoon, I went up to Park City with my wife and boys. We went to the bike swap at Cole Sport. I picked up a new bike, a Felt F3. Nice bike!

| No running. I took the bike out for a 10k spin in the drizzling rain, just to see how it felt. Felt great. | | Add Comment |

| No running. Another short bike ride, 9 miles. I headed up through Tanner Park and across the foot bridges to Foothill. The bike handled great, really enjoying it so far and looking forward to a longer ride. | | Add Comment |

| No running. Planned to go for a ride on the bike, but rain, rain, rain. I went to Fairmont and swam a mile. I have to say I'm losing some motivation in the pool. I probably need some real instruction to get rid of my bad habits and start figuring out how to do the things needed to actually improve. | | Add Comment |

| No running. Again. I braved the cold air and rode about 19 miles, to the mouth of Big Cottonwood canyon and back through the Old Mill area and Holladay Blvd. A great little ride. | | Add Comment |
