Cross-Training (stepper) 30:00 [2]
Hiking 10:00 [3] 1.03 km (9:43 / km) +500m 2:50 / km
shoes: Asics 2008
Hiking on the treadmill. Walking is becoming better - I am actually pushing off on the left foot somewhat instead of just lifting it - but running still feels too painful and awkward, so I think I need to wait a bit more.
Stretching 5:00 [0]

Running (treadmill) 20:00 [3] 2.16 km (9:16 / km) +311m 5:23 / km
shoes: Asics 2008
On the treadmill, 15% grade. I alternated hiking at 5.4 km/hr and running at about 7.2 km/hr. Ankle and everything around it felt stiff and there was some pain when I pushed off, but it was tolerable and got better with time. Will try this again next week.
Strength Training (gym) 59:00 [1]
All the usual. Felt low on energy (perhaps because it was morning), but weights didn't feel harder than normal.
Cross-Training (stepper) 10:00 [1]
I did this right after the running, before the gym.
Stretching 5:00 [0]

Note
Went to Kenneth Rooth again today. More needles in my ankle, but at least this time it wasn't as painful as last time. He thinks one more treatment of this on Monday should do it and I can start trying to running this weekend, but very carefully and on a treadmill. He also says that it is ok if I feel some slight pain in my ankle, and that mobility is good. I'll test all that on Saturday.
Strength Training (stability) 15:00 [1]
Strength Training 36:00 [1]
Club circuits.
Note
My ankle looks and feels so much better now!!

Cross-Training (stepper) 25:30 [2]
shoes: Asics 2008
This seemed easier today - perhaps because I did it before the treadmill?
Hiking 8:00 [3] 0.8 km (10:00 / km)
shoes: Asics 2008
Fast hiking on the treadmill. This is really good exercise, but I don't want to do too much of it because training on even surfaces bothers my knees.
Strength Training (ankle strength) 15:00 [1]
Stretching 5:00 [0]
Note
Did some more map study of Boggs Mountain tonight - focusing on visualizing the general shape of the land. I am so excited about running team trials there in May!

Cross-Training (biking) 5:00 [1]
Strength Training (gym) 54:00 [1]
All the usual. I'm getting stronger!!!!
Stretching 5:00 [0]

Note
I saw Kenneth Rooth today about my foot. He seemed very certain that my problem is due to scar tissue I have in the front/outside of my ankle (some of which has been there since Harvester relays in May!), and put four needles into my ankle for about ten minutes. He claims that this should loosen up the tissue, and if I do this treatment a few more times, then the swelling will go away and I can run in about two weeks. I am somewhat skeptical, but on the other hand my foot does feel looser now.
