September 8th,  Friday

Still feeling lots of discomfort in both feet today.  Very confused!    A plethora of variables is impacting my lower legs: orthotics; daily foot and ankle exercises; fledgling running, swimming, biking, elliptical efforts;  constant  stretching; heating and icing, whirlpool.   It seems like much-a-do with no noticeable positive impact. So I am taking a brief pause to allow my feet to relax and acclimate to all of this stimuli.  My plan is to wear only my well-padded sandals between now and next Tuesday morning when I have a physical therapy session scheduled.  A total vacation from stimuli  for my feet.    ( No heat or ice, no stretch, no exercises,  no run, no bike treadmill elliptical, no swim, no whirlpool, no orthotics)

On the positive side the Liberty boys cross-country team is looking a lot better this year. We have about 18 guys on the team and the varsity seems to have a solid six or eight runners. I think we can be very competitive. I have been enjoying my assignment coaching the Killer B’s.  That is my name for the sub Varsity group that I have been working with for the last week. I have some degree of autonomy with these guys concerning workouts and they seem to be responding pretty well.

Don’t know how much I will be posting in the next 3 days because I will not have any workouts to report and do not want to continue simply whining. If I think of anything interesting to share I will definitely post.  In the meantime have a good weekend everybody!
