I hit up the north/south field each day. I've mostly been feeling good, but on Saturday I felt tired and depleted.
Wednesday, January 12, 2011 (North Field)
I forgot my watch, so I ran barefoot on the north field until it felt like I was done. Maybe half a hour. Felt fine.
Monday, January 10, 2011 (35 minutes)
I ran on the track, mostly because there were still signs saying the south field was closed, and there were a bunch of guys there working on it. As I left, though, I saw that the north field has finally been reopened, so I'll move there for tomorrow.
The run felt fine. My back is still a little tender, but it didn't bother me while running, and when I timed one lap near the end of the run I was going about 6-minute pace.

Through the arroyo with Megumi. I hurt my back a little on Friday, somehow tweaking some muscles in the middle of my upper back. Despite some residual soreness, I felt good on this run, and my back isn't bothering me any more.

There's a good, pretty-much continuous, mostly non-frozen strip of grass along the sidewalks at my parents' new house, so I did an easy 20 minutes this morning. I didn't bring any running shorts with me, so I ran in khakis, then went to Target afterwards.

Wed: 20 minutes around Central park with Will
Thu: 20 minutes North Field after work.
I might not run the next few days. I'll be in Maryland, where the ground is frequently frozen/snowy this time of year, and I don't want to run on roads.

Nice run around a park somewhere in San Marino with Will. Four laps took about 20 minutes, so it's a good-sized park. Shod, not completely trusting a strange environment with the bare soles of my feet in the dark.

Another nice North Field run, slow and barefoot. Felt pretty good. The north field looks nice - it's very green, but I think the grass is kind of short and the ground is fairly hard underneath. It's still a pretty decent place to run when there are no bees on it.

I snuck on to the North Field today. It seemed unlikely that anyone was going to object. 20 minutes felt good. I'm still a little worried about the bottom of my left foot, but I think that as long as I keep it on grass and stay very conservative, a little running should be okay.
I also ran with Will three or four times this week, and with Megumi once (20 striders in the mud). So overall, I'm feeling pretty good, although out of shape.
