The usual weekly accumulation of morning exercises: stretching, strength and balance. Trying to extend how much I do for each exercise, and to be more particular about proper form.

Local terrain. Jeep trail next door. Walk as hard as I can given the pain in my foot. Actually felt a little better towards the end; guess things loosened up.

Splits are for 2 laps (0.4 mi):
748, 726, 701

For the first time (after a couple of sessions to get used to these), pushed on the leg strengthening exercises Kevin gave me.

1. Kettle bell squats. Used 15 lb dumb bell. 3 sets of 8.
2. Interleaved with 1: toe raisers squeezing ball between heels: 3x12.
3. Monster walk: with Thera-ring around thighs, squat and walk sideways for 10 steps, then back. 3 sets.
4. Step ups: with 4 lb dumb bell, 3x10 each leg.
5. Bosu upside down: 1 min each leg, moving in 4 directions; two sets.
6. (Actually did these in the morning) bridges, with pulsations at the top. Feet on roller. Three sets of 24 (only 20 on last one).

[Leg strengthening]

The three foot exercises, done in sets throughout the day.

Late this evening, foot is feeling better than it has in a while.
