5.5 miles to All Sports Park and then home. Foot felt great. Hope that I've turned the corner...

Ran into Fruitdale and past the middle school, then home. Left foot felt worse at the beginning and then so-so the rest of the way. Even if I wanted to run 10 miles a day, it's just not happening...

6.4 miles this morning.  Wanted to run 17.76 with it being Independence Day, but my foot wasn't going to let me get anywhere near that number.  Trying to be happy with what I can do.  Could be worse...

Best run in a month. Zero foot pain when I woke up, zero pain in the hip, foot, or groin while I ran and still feel good an hour later. Progress!

Ran just over 6 miles by myself, then 1 with my wife at the elementary school by our house, then I ran 1 mile to try out my new pair of Newton running shoes. Foot felt just as good as yesterday, which is a very VERY good thing.

Felty great this morning. Dare I say that my foot is back to normal? Now I've just got to get used to getting up in time to put in a few more miles.

Ran into downtown and the HS before returning home the same route.  Foot felt good once again.  4 runs in a row with no pain.

Ran into town and past the HS, then looped around and came home. Longest run in over a month and my foot feels fine. I'm back to normal!

Foot hurt. So much for what I said yesterday...

PM: Just a hair over 4 miles in Coos Bay. Foot felt much better than this morning.

Ran around the bay to the East in Coos Bay. Foot felt fantastic. On again, off again it seems.

Ran west towards the college and kept it flat. Foot felt so-so but I managed. Found $1.66 and then karma got me another $8.05 from a nice guy at Safeway. I ran just over 11 miles before returning home and changing into my Newtons and running a couple in them.

I ran across the river, around All Sports Park and then back home. Hopefully more miles tonight in Eugene.

PM: 5.5 miles in Eugene. Very hot and staying at the new hotel south of town isn't runner friendly.

Ran from the hotel to Pre's Trail.  Haven't done that in a looooong time.  Looped around a couple times and then ran past the Residence Inn and Hayward Field.  It was locked up--can't remember the last time it was open to the public.  When I first started traveling to Eugene it was open all the time.  Not so much these past couple years...

I left the house about 6 and ran the 11 miles to where the ward was camping last night.  The young men were in charge of breakfast so I got there in time to help cook a feast of pancakes, bacon, sausage, eggs, and orange juice.  Not a bad breakfast after a Saturday run.  Not healthy in the least, but what are you gonna do?  My wife brought a change of clothes and we spent the rest of the morning playing games and having a good time.

Ran to the north freeway exit, the to Walmart and home. Felt good for the first 14.5 but the last half mile my right hip/hamstring tightened up pretty good. I'm getting old...

I ran from the hotel to Pre's Rock, then around some neighborhoods I've never been in.  Thought I was lost and was going to eventually come out near LCC but eventually I made it back to the hotel.  Even had time to run around Hayward Field before returning to the hotel.
