   First run in a while.
   Still feeling some pain in the foot, but it's only when I walk. Thinking it's tendinitis... xrays after L.A. were negative.
   That said, run was good. Got in a speedy (for me) 9:48 2nd mile and took it easy on the other two, just minding my breathing and form.

   1 mile warmup on the treadmill - left foot still buggin'. I probably aggravated whatever it was I sustained during L.A. Hello cycling, swimming, elliptical, and (gasp) core work. Probably for the best. If I stay off of it for a few weeks and just stay fit, I'll be fine. Fit and fine... yeah, that's it. ;-)

   Anyhow... bench press, flat flys, arm raises, tricep pulldowns, hammer curls.

   All set to make some soup (Carrot with Tahini and Roasted Chickpeas,) but got my run done first. Then, and only then, could I begin chopping carrots...

   New shoes, too! I took the Gel Kayanos back and exchanged them for another pair of Gel Neo 33s. My foot was slipping inside the Kayanos with each step and I didn't care for them anyway. Thankfully, Road Runner Sports has the best return policy next to Nordstrom's. I had 40 miles on the shoes and they said, "No problem!" Nice.

   good PT Session in the Park 01:00

   Getting stronger. Squats. Lunges. Pushups. Ab work. Rope. More squats... compound moves with weights. All good. Nice and sore and out of breath. That's what I pay her for. ;-)

   great Naples Island Run Before Rehe... 2.58 mi 00:26 10:04 pace

   After work, brain clearing, nerve settling, stress evaporating run around the island before heading back out to rehearse the Beethoven. Short runs like this are the perfect warm up before singing.

   Got out in the dark with Szablog and ran up around Colorado Lagoon and back. It felt wonderful to run and breathe and remind myself how much I enjoy running. Saw the AREC group coming over the bridge earlier in the evening and was so inspired. I count myself lucky to be part of an enormous community... world-wide... that has found running as a positive force in their lives. Blessings.

    I'm still so stunned by the bombings and I've done my best to not saturate my thoughts with news reports and hearsay, but rather with stories of those that helped and made a difference for good. I'm going to head out tonight, run for a bit, and think about all the levels of freedom that are expressed while doing something so simple. #runforboston

    Took Szablog out for our long run down the Long Beach bike path. Got a little crowded as we approached the art museum, but it was a warm, breezy and beautiful time. Ran by a literal parade of bikes... went on forever. Had to have been an organized event... and they must have brought traffic to a standstill once they hit Belmont Shore. Best rider was an ice cream cart... he was dressed in crisp white, complete with a black bow tie and white paper hat.

    Nice easy jaunt with Noah and Szablog on the San Clemente Beach Trail. Noticed that Noah has better form if I let him run fast. He stays up on the front of hit foot, but when we slow down he shuffles them, making a loud skidding sound. I tell him "quiet feet" and he adjusts, but if I let him sprint out, he looks beautiful. Maybe I should take him to the track and call Special Olympics. He might be a winner!

    Had a problem with clipping in on the bike and after banging around for a few minutes, I realized it was the pedal, not my shoe. :-/ Waste. It's time to fix the bikes, again! Luckily, there was another free bike. So, I hopped on and got moving. Great class.

    First run since LA - felt fine. No probs with the hoof. No need to put me down.
    That cycling workout wore me out yesterday. Had to nap today. Feeling it in all the strange places, but I know I'll get used to it as long as I get back on the bike again.
