Weather - 88 degrees, sunny, humid.

I iced my left foot 4 or 5 times yesterday, along with soaking it in a hot bath, and massaged it 2 or 3 times. 

This morning it felt pretty good biking to work and walking around.

When I went on my run in the late morning I took it easy, making sure not to go faster than 8:00/mile pace. I ran barefoot .75 miles around the  arboretum grass loop. Entire 5 miles the foot felt better than yesterday, so it appears to be nothing too serious.

Afterward 4 sets of strength exercises, stretching, and 15 minute walk home.

Glad to see the foot is feeling a bit better, Will! Like the new picture! Have to admit it's quite intimidating as you're landing fully on your right foot. I'm just glad you don't live in NY. I'd have to constantly check over my shoulder when I'm on the road to make sure that Will the Rocket is setting to make a Slice and Dice Take no Prisoners dash for the line :). Keep up the great work buddy

Benn, great week of bike riding, you are in monster shape - keep working hard!
