Local sprint at JCC. Walked a bit to warm up, then started the course with repeats of 1 walk/ 7 jog. Legs were tired, but foot felt OK. O was really rusty. Hot and sticky. Good company on the drive to the meet.
Back to PT today for electrostimulation, ultrasound and deep tissue massage. Also got a new treatment: iontophoresis. Whatever it takes to finally knock down the nagging aches and pains. Therapist suggested that I stop running until the tendinitis calms down; doctor said I could run with the brace. Don't know what I'll do.
With the exception of Oringen 2004, I haven't ridden a bike in about 25 years. But now that I'm living in a bike-friendly town with bike paths everywhere, it seems I _must_ have a bike. So I tried out two models tonight. One was comfortable and kinda slow; the other was kinda uncomfortable and fast. Which one do you think I preferred?
Stopped at Broken Arrow park on the way home. Started walking to warm up, and playing Seek n Spell on the iPhone. It was not as interesting as I hoped; the map area is too small, and couldn't be expanded. I put it away and went for my run. Body felt OK overall, so in Peter's ODAAT scale, it was a good day.

A bit of rowing while watching TdF. By the end, my foot was hurting more than usual. Maybe I did too much tonight. Good thing I decided (earlier today) to go back to PT. At the very least, they can give me new exercises. And the ultrasound and massage should help me heal faster.
I never know what to expect when I get to the pool. Last week, the diving well was filled with divers, kids practicing racing starts and scuba divers (that was weird). And tonight, I had the place to myself almost the whole time--just a few dives by two people. It was n ice.
Note
Finally jumped on the band wagon. Three pairs of Innov8 arrived from Zappos today. Two for me, one for Mike. Finally got him to use Zappos. although I actually placed the order :)
Again, did my intervals on a sprint course from two weeks ago. Much more pleasant than straight running. Foot felt OK most of the time; leg muscles were very tired by the third rep. So out of shape.
3X 1 walk/6 jog
walk to finish the course
