Cycling 19:43 [1] 6.73 km (2:56 / km) +13m 2:54 / km
A little bike ride around the 'hood. I bought a new pair of bike shoes (road!). They're Giro, with a ratchet mechanism. I adjusted the seat halfway through this. Road bikes feel so awkward after you're used to a mountain bike.

Note
The doctor's diagnosis was "Insertional Peroneal Tendonitis". It's been 6 weeks, and the pain has diminished to the point I'd agree with tendonitis. But earlier---if it was tendonitis, it was the worst tendonitis I've ever had. I've had broken bones, and this felt like a broken bone. Online descriptions describe the more advanced cases of this tendonitis as "debilitating". I wonder if this could actually be an Osgood-Schlatter type of injury, where the tendon cracks and lifts a bone fragment. I'm guessing the "insertional" means the tendon inserts into a groove or hole, so---I don't know. I just know this thing hurts more than any tendonitis I've ever had. It has gotten better in the last few weeks.
I'm getting orthotics made. I've heard really bad things about orthotics, and I'm looking forward to forming my own opinion.
I'm probably going to avoid running for at least another 2 weeks. The doctor poo-poo'd this idea, but if it could be tendonitis or a fracture, it seems pretty easy to do things that won't aggravate either possibility.

Mapping 54:07 [1] 3.21 km (16:51 / km) +79m 15:00 / km
After the ISOM discussion this last couple weeks, I decided to drive to one of my old attempts at mapping and see what was up. I have emailed this parked several times over several years, and they just aren't answering.
I found out it had changed hands---it's now owned by Rising Sun, Indiana---and has had some improvements made (a new shelter and several old, dangerous buildings demolished).
I wasn't really mapping with a board, but I was just looking for new stuff. I had my old map, my new OL-Laser contours (OMG), and Jagge's Karttapullautin automatically-generated map (if it had the trails on it, it would be useable. It needs a lot of work, but it's an hour of computing time!)
Oh---a day or two before Saturday, I checked Open Topography, and a new section of Indiana Lidar became available. So---now I've got really, really good contours for this place.
It's called "Denver-Siekman Park". It used to be an educational park with actual people there (for school tours), so the mowing of the trails isn't as good, and several pieces of singletrack have disappeared.
The big trails are actually pretty good. They're maintained for use as a cross-country course for a local high school, so they tend to be grass rather than dirt. (Dirt trails are verboten by high school rules.)
{Edit} GPS has come a long way. This track was from my Forerunner 110. My original Etrex Vista track was almost completely useless. This one seems really good. One spot (a wooded ride in the SE) has the track some distance apart---that's the biggest error I see.

Course set-check-pick 20:00 [1] 0.92 km (21:51 / km) +40m 17:56 / km
Picking up four controls at Mike's Bicentennial Park / McFarlan Woods event. I asked for four really easy walking controls. My stress fracture didn't hurt until I almost got back to the car, so---I'm pretty good with that.
Appointment with specialist Wednesday.
It's a lot better than it was. I'm trying to be extra gentle with it. I cut the grass and did some cutting of shrubs, trees, and plantings around the house, and I've had a few niggles in the foot.
I need to give my bike a once over so I can ride it.
