At a very positive Liberty cross country practice tonight, I rode the bike for about 5 miles. Along the way I stopped and actually ran a few strides now and then to test the progress of my heel issues. Felt pretty good. Have to keep working on it

Arlene and I spend a very lovely afternoon at Holmdel Park. Had a little picnic lunch while we enjoyed the breezes in the shade as we sat and took in the pretty lake scene.  I took out some time to test my foot again. I did a number of short straightaways and a few longer efforts. I think I am making progress, and it certainly felt good to be running.
