| We went on a short RV trip with some friends to Lake Buchanan in the hill country of Texas and took a river cruise to see the Colorado River and the Eagles. It was fun.
Ran 3.25 miles in the park:

For some reason my foot felt much better this morning. Maybe it's because I took some Nyquil before bed? :-) ...Or maybe it was because of the pop and warm feeling I got in my foot Tuesday when I ran? Don't know but it does feel like some improvement.
My running is getting better despite my foot. I've gone from a pace/effort of about 8:45 Pace/165 HR to 7:45 Pace/155 HR in about a month. My target is 7:15 Pace/145 HR, this is where I was at at the peak of my training before the CIM Marathon in Dec. '14.

Ran in Gatesville while visiting my parents. My foot felt good, the weather was good. The run felt good. Things are looking after this run and Saturday's run.

| Definitly making improvement on the fitness side of things. I ran 4 miles 3 weeks ago at 8:28 and my HR was 156. Today it was 8:28 with a 147 HR. I can't describe how better it feels now. It's almost like my arteries have finally popped open allowing the blood to flow. A few weeks ago my HR would jump to 160 on the first mile no matter what speed I ran. Today it was only 136.

Feeling better (body not foot). It was pretty warm today at 63 degrees. I guess it's already summer. I killed a rattlesnake yesterday, tried to post a picture but can't seem to make it work. Something has changed in the program of the blog.

| My foot has been killing me for the past three days but this morning it seemed to feel better so I went ahead and ran. It was not a comfortable run but I managed the 7 miles hobbling along most of the way. Yesterday I decided to set another appointment with my first foot doctor to get a second opinion. It has been almost a year since the surgery and I don't feel like I'm any better than I was a year ago. The pain was so bad I could bairly put weight on my foot yesterday. Something is not right.
Here's the painful run:

| 7 Miles @ 7:53 Pace. My foot pain has subsided to the normal level. I'm continuing to show some improvement in conditioning but still a long way to go.
Also had a nice win at a small Thursday night roping today!

| Trying to get the pace back down on some of my runs but it's taking great effort. I'm calling 7:45 my slow marathon pace in my entries. Another month and I'll be at 7:30 for this run.
Pretty warm and very humid for this run too.
