Treadmill workout again this morning. I think I'm taking the right approach with regards to my foot as it really felt pretty good this morning. Almost no pain starting out. There's been a little soreness since then, but the PF certainly seems to be getting better. My lungs, however, weren't feeling so good today. I've had a bit of cold that seems to be settling in my lungs. I was a little wheezy and light-headed half way into the workout. 

I started back to work today after a long layoff. It's nice getting back into the routine. Work is only nine miles from home, so I'm hoping to run/bike to and from work occasionally. I need to figure out if there's a place to shower and store clothes.

Treadmill run this morning. The PF bothered me from time to time yesterday afternoon, but wasn't a problem this morning. I'm still not feeling 100 percent, but I'm not as congested as yesterday. I'm happy to be settling back into a routine.

Cross training day. Upper body workout shoveling snow for 45 minutes. I'm hoping I can get a run in later today.

Treadmill workout. The PF in my right foot didn't bother me much during the run and hasn't bothered me much since. I'm still dealing with some lung and nasal congestion so I didn't push it too hard this morning. I think I'll have a good base to build on when the streets start to clear. If my foot feels OK, I may test it outside (on more irregular surfaces next week).

I started out this morning feeling really sluggish. My legs were heavy and I was struggling at a fairly easy pace. I may have gotten a little less sleep, but I couldn't account for the difference. I was thinking that maybe I was coming down with something and should just give up after a mile when I noticed that I was running on an incline (my wife must have left it up after her treadmill workout yesterday). After I lowered it, I ran comfortably and started to pick up the pace. Felt good over all, but bothered a bit by PF today.
