No running today.  My feet have really been hurting me since saturday.  It's on both feet so I don't think it's an injury (unless I am very unlucky) but I figured I'd play it safe and avoid injury since I'm probably very prone to it for the next few weeks.  The bottoms of my feet underneath the 5th metatarsal feel sore and stressed.  Also the front outside of my ankles feel like the muscles and tendons in there are pretty torqued.  No idea why unless it was because of playing dodgeball until 1 AM on saturday.  That may not have helped.  Hopefully I'll feel less fragile tomorrow.

4 miles easy.  Felt a lot less sore than yesterday.  Starting to feel like I can sort of run normal again instead of clomping around like a clydesdale.

8 miles pretty easy to moderate pace with Jon.  Went up this trail in Green Canyon and it was pretty nice.  Gradual uphill all the way out and downhill back so we made pretty good time coming back.  Legs felt the best they've felt since the marathon.  Good sign.  Good run today.

Didn't intend to go this far or this hard today...Thought that the Bonneville Trail would be a little less hilly than it turned out to be.  But a good workout anyway.  Hope I'm not dead for tomorrow's run.  Oh well.  Moderate pace today.  Felt very good.

12 mile fun run up and down mountains with Jon and Cody.  Lots of climbing...like over 2000 feet worth.  We went on the Ephraim's Grave trail to where some guy killed a huge grizzly bear that was 9'11'' tall (they had a rock set up that was as tall as the bear, and lemme tell ya, that's a big ol' bear)  And there was a paper there with a story about how the guy shot the bear and blood was squirting out of it's mouth or something.  Cool story.  Then we came back down the mountain via Steel Canyon trail which was fun and I almost died about 3 times tripping.  One time I jammed my finger on this big rock while trying to avoid smashing my face against it.  We saw quite a few hunters and they all stared at us with a look somewhere between disgust, hatred, and incredulity....the disgust/hatred because we were scaring the deer and the incredulity because we were running up these huge mountains out in the middle of nowhere with nothing but short shorts, 2 thin shirts, and a water bottle.  Anyway, very fun run.  And we ended up beating the "9 minute guy."  Cody and Jon run with imaginary friends and I guess I am one of them too since I decided to take up plumbing and hit the campaign trail with John McCain and I have shrunk to 3.5 inches tall.  I'm surprised I can keep up with them anymore since my stride has gotten so short.  Must be the weight I lost in the process.  Anyway, good day today and I felt pretty good the whole time.  Good elevation training without killing myself.
