Overall good recovery from race plus progress in training.  Not much soreness from race and week...foot is good.  I continue to pay attention and self massage the left foot around the back and sides.  at heel bump I can feel and make move around some particles or something,  does not hurt but feels like I should keep in broken up.

pm- walk 4, getting trail ready for race tomorrow, good walking, started out tired, but ended feeling good

Week total = 50 miles/ 30 running

Good week.  Best long run in long time on Sunday.  Ready but a little nervous about race tomorrow.  Strange but that race feeling is starting to come back...FUN!!!

Hokey's are definitely a different shoe...need more runs in them on trail type conditions before I'm 100% sold but they feel much more responsive to uneven terrain than I thought.  I do not feel unstable.  While the sole has many mm of material between you and ground it strangely feels connected to feet by the soft pillow type foam that my feet can grab onto instead of the ground.  bottom of feet noticeably less sore and my left posterior tibial is not sore or tender.

PS:  I must be feeling better as I signed up the Shadow of the Gaints 50K in Yosemite National Park June 1, 2013.  Gregg invited me and we plan to do some hiking after.
