I didn't run because of my foot. The clicking is at it's worst when I walk barefoot on tile. I went to the running store to try some inserts for the ball of my foot. They seemed to help some, but they were just so extreme I couldn't imagine running very far in them. I took in my current pair of Asic 2120's and we decided they've broken down a little, particularly on the left foot. So I ended up buying a new pair of 1130's (a little less support, because it drives me crazy) 1/2 size longer & 1/2 size narrower. They felt good in the store, I'll see how they work out on Wednesday. I won't run tomorrow because I'm headed to Wyoming at 5:00AM and don't expect to return until the wee hours of the morning on Wednesday.

No running. I covered the entire state of Wyoming going to a seminar in Lander with David. I did get to meet Robbie Jackson for the first time, which seemed to make the trip worth it. She's just getting back into running with a goal to run Boston next year for her 50th. We'll have to do some running together.

I went to pick up Scott's truck for him in Salt Lake and decided to run (in my new shoes) on the JRP. I ran south from 12800 S, past the hot springs and into the new subdivision. My favorite house is for sale again. It took a couple of miles to get the laces adjusted on my new shoes. I really like them and could tell immediately that they were more springy and probably easier on my feet than any of my others. I still had pain in my left foot and stopped a couple of times to "walk it out." After my run, my feet actually felt pretty good, although I'm feeling a little pain tonight. I did spend an hour in the grocery store in my street shoes tonight, so that might have something to do with it. If I don't get relief in a couple more days, I'll get in to see the doctor. I just don't want to have to lay off. I really feel like I'm starting to make some progress, even though I've had to cut back on my mileage. Except for the foot, the run felt good today. It was 55 degrees today, so that obviously feel good as well.

Foot clicks when I walk. No running until I see the doctor.

No running until I see the doctor. In Idaho, no chance to cross train. This has been a tough week because I was starting to feel progress in my running and had some good tunes (finally) on my iPod. We'll see what the doctor says tomorrow.
