| Evening Suicide Loop with John. We started at what was supposed to be the height of the eclipse but could not see it. Foot felt somewhat better. I am hoping it will go away as mysteriously as it appeared. Avg. 8:27 HR 134

Still not sure what to make of the foot. The sharp pain has definitely been fewer and far between. Only one time yesterday and none during today's run in. I want it to be completely gone for a few days before I try to start training again. Avg. 9:50

A&W commute run in. I will start going back to training over the weekend and hopefully this blip on the radar will have been just that. This morning was about the same as yesterday, no sharp pains but definitely tender in that area. Avg. 9:27 HR 142

| Busy day with a solo evening suicide loop. I felt that I wanted to test the waters and threw in two surges Fartlek style. It felt good. Avg. 7:44 HR 146

| Well I guess there wasn't enough rest. Not sure if it was the surges last night or just me not paying close enough attention prior to that but the foot was definitely more sore on my run into work this morning. Maybe another week of no "pushes" and nothing over 7mi. It doesn't appear that the mileage is a problem and just intensity.
