I ran a mile on the treadmill -- the longest I've run since mid-May.  My foot felt fine during the run, I tried hard to concentrate on my foot placement to avoid overstriking on the heel. The foot didn't seem to hurt any worse the rest of the day, which is a good sign I think. I'll try again on Friday.

Open water swim in East Canyon Reservoir -- the first of the year.  Water temperature was actually pretty nice, not chilly at all. When we arrived we saw some largeish wild animal swimming across the reservoir.  There were debates about what it was -- beaver, rodent, moose?  monster? Probably swam about a mile.

I ran 2 miles on the treadmill, again concentrating on my form and location of my footstrike. It takes a lot of attention and it's hard to just tune out like I'm used to doing  -- but then again tuning out and not paying attention to form may be a big reason why I've had so many problems with my foot.

No running. I did ride the bike from the base of Big Cottonwood Canyon up to the Brighton ski resort -- a 14.3 mile climb and a speedy 14.3 mile descent.

I ran a mile on the treadmill -- no problems during the little run but the foot has some pain today.

Open water swim in East Canyon Reservoir.  It was described by one in our party this morning as an "indulgence." I have to agree with that. But it's awesome to be in the water so early in the morning.

20 miles on the bike -- then a doctor's appointment to look at my foot.  No answers. I've got an MRI scheduled for next Friday.

20 miles on the bike -- including a short ride to the "top" of Red Butte Canyon. Well, at least up to the fence that prohibits further travel.
