Got a cortisone shot on Thursday so tested out the foot this morning.  Everything felt good.  I'm very thankful to be back running.  I have enjoyed the bike the last couple months, but nothing makes me feel as good as running.  Hoping I can take care of myself so that I can run pain free for many years to come!

Had a nice bike/run/core workout this morning.  Foot still felt good.  It is so nice to run without pain.  Legs felt tight on the left hamstring still, but I have been doing a lot of stretching and rolling to help with that.

3 miles again.  Everything felt good.  A little less tight.  Really nice morning.  There is a little chill in the air which tells me that fall is coming.  Still warm during the day but mornings are definately cooling off.

Less tight on the left hamstring/glute area.  I think that the rolling and stretching is helping.  I have been working really hard on my stretching.

It was foggy this morning and a little humid.  Really nice morning for a run.  Did a leg workout before the run.  My legs feel pretty good!

I woke up with the foot feeling tight so I didn't want to risk anything.  Did about a 20 minute core workout followed by the bike.  Legs felt good and the weather was ideal for a ride.  

In the afternnon I went to the pool and did a lap swim.  The first 10 laps had my arms on fire, but after that I settled in and it felt great.  Would have done 1,600 but I had a time period to swim and I so I had to leave.

First run over 3 miles in 2 months.  The left hamstring was a little tight for the first mile but then it loosened up and everything felt good.  No pain at any point with the foot and as I write this it has been about 8 hours since the run and everything feels good.  I'll slowly increase the miles next week but nothing too drastic.

Very windy morning.  I thought I would go less miles this morning than what I was originally planned.  I'm still not 100% confident with my foot but every run I get a little more comfortable.  I felt good and the legs felt very rested and good.  Left leg was still tight but this doesn't slow me down.  Usually warms up after a mile or 2.

AP:  7:59

Day off.  Wanted to run but felt like I needed a day of rest.

Core workout followed by my run. 

I wanted to do 5 miles this morning but at mile 3 my foot felt tight and I wanted to be safe so I stopped and stretched and went another mile.  Felt tight still so I walked it in.  I still don't trust my foot completely.  It's frustrating but I'm trying to focus on the good and the fact that I'm back to running.

Had a nice swim today.  Felt good and strong on the swim.

Nice short run followed by 10 mile bike.  I didn't have any pain on the foot so that was a good sign.  Really happy to not have any issues.  I'm hoping yesterday was a fluke think and more in my head.

AP of run was 8:16

Early morning run and an afternoon swim at the pool.  I really like this kind of a day.  The run felt great.  Went a little slower today.  Weather is heating up so it was just a cool 60 degrees this morning.  I'm getting a little more confident with my foot.

Swim felt really good and was an excellent afternoon workout.  It's been really nice to cross train.

AP Run:  8:30

The goal this week was 20-22 miles and I was right at 21.  I'm happy with the week.  Run felt good but I can definatly tell I have lost some running fitness.  Felt good to run again for a solid hour though.  

It's time to start finding good podcasts again and listening to them while I run.

Any suggestions Rhett (besides BYU sport podcasts)??
