     Great work. Love seeing CrossFit work getting posted up here. Have you ever looked into Beyond The Whiteboard for a really good tracking system?

     It is essentially a CrossFit journal. Easy to use and makes looking up old lifts a breeze.

   Recovery run after Viola. Foot hurt with the first step out of bed this morning and was cranky during the run. Still not as bad as it was early this week, but I can tell running the half bothered it. Going take a break from running for a week or two. Enjoyed an awesome free breakfast pastry at Panera Bread afterwards with my running buddies. Fun, fun!

     Awhile back I saw Fleet Feet post about a New Balance Fun Run this Thursday. Location TBD. I haven't seen anything since. Weather looking iffy so they'll probably cancel it anyhow.

    Overall good run. Perfect weather, good company. Unfortunately, my foot is not happy. Not sure about this. Really hope this is not the PF rearing it's ugly head again. I'd been running without pain for several months now. I see lots of ice and rolling in my future, and I think some yoga (to loosen the calves) is in order too.

    Notes - Recovery pace with a 400m pick up @ 5k pace. Legs were feeling much stronger on the pick up though not 100 percent there yet. Thought I'd be super sore today, but oddly enough I felt much better today. Perhaps "a little hair of the dog" cured me?
