1 slow mile and 30 min on bike in the gym.  After an entire week off, I'm not limping anymore while just walking around so I thought I'd give running a chance.  It hurt.  Not as painful as the race but still bad.  Andrea thinks it might be bursitis.  This makes sense because the tops and sides of my heel are sore when I apply pressure.  It gets better with time but I don't have a ton of time until the St. George Marathon and I still have a lot of training to do.

45 minutes on the elliptical.  I think I can do some elliptical and stationary bike workouts so that I don't completely atrophy.

1 mile at about 9 min pace.  Faster than my mile on Monday.  Still a little pain but it's better.  40 min on elliptical.

3.7 miles in Baltimore.  My heel hurt more than yesterday.  I forgot to take some Ibuprofen after yesterday's run and that probably didn't help.

14.5 mi pacing my friend Bryan while he did miles 61 through 75 of the Bear 100. He came into the aid station where I was waiting at midnight and we ran until just before 6:00am. It was rainy and muddy most of the way which slowed us down a lot. Actually it was probably more of a hike than a run but at least my heel didn't hurt. That gave me some confidence that I'll be able to finish St George in a week.
