It was cool and windy this morning. I rode my bike 10.58 miles and tried to work hard and get my heart rate up.

I got another hard foot massage tonight and then I iced more. I am sure getting tired of icing all the time. I need this thing to just go away.

It was 45 degrees with a cool breeze this morning. I was able to run 5.35 miles nice and slow. The pain level was much better than Saturday, more like a 3 or 4 and it was more of a dull ache rather than the acute pain it was Saturday. I am icing it again and will get another massage/torture tonight.

It was 39 degrees this morning....a bit cool for June. I ran 5.24 miles nice and easy focusing on my footfall to ensure I do not get secondary injuries by running abnormally. The pain level was the same as yesterday although my foot was a bit sore during the day yesterday. I got another massage last night and iced.....same old same old.

It was 48 degrees...an absolutely beautiful morning. I ran 5.27 miles nice and slow again. The pain level was probably around a 3 and seems to decrease a bit every day. If it feels OK tomorrow maybe I can go a couple more miles.

I have some "new" pain on the side of my foot. It is on the outside, opposite of my arch/heel pain. I figure it is probably a compensation issue so I did not run today. I will evaluate it tomorrow morning.

It was 56 degrees this morning, very nice and sunny. I ran 6.58 miles and things went pretty well. The pain level started out around a 3 and gradually got better from there. I actually felt like my form was good and I even ran faster each mile as things warmed up more without really meaning to.

Hopefully this is a good sign.

Today's feeling......CAUTIOUS OPTIMISM....:)

Tonight we went to the wildflower festival at Pebble Creek ski area. We ended up riding the chairlift to the top and hiking all the way back down on the switchbacks, stopping to enjoy the scenery along the way. My foot ached pretty good during and after. Probably not a good idea to do a steep downhill hike with my foot issues....I will probably pay tomorrow.
