Event: NEOC Diamond Hill
 

tweaked my right knee walking down the stairs on Thursday. (most work days I probably average 35-40 flights of stairs between the two buildings) A sharp teaing pain above the knee proper. Not sure how but damn it hurt. Eased up after a few minutes, but recurred a couple times on Thursday and Friday so haven't done anything since just to let it rest. But no problems Sat or Sun (so far) so perhaps I'll go for a ride or run tomorrow.

Also appear to have a Mortons neuroma in my left foot, feels like I've got a marble in my shoe right between the 3rd & 4th toes. But the shoes I've been wearing lately have felt a bit tight in the toe box, so we'll try some vitamin I and stick to the looser shoes to see if it goes away.

Out retrieving some old controls with Hayden. He did a remarkable job considering 3 of the 5 were yellow/orange level control locations. Fine day to be in the woods. Noted that the Hashers had been out sometime fairly recently.No issues with the knee, could feel the foot but not really uncomfortable.

Scoped out a couple locations for a cub scout training event I'm doing next Saturday. Most of the control locations are pretty simple, but a couple are off trail and I wanted to ensure the woods were clean enough for 3rd graders.

Probably head up to the Columbus Day event at Grafton Lakes tomorrow.

Quick ride after work up Webster to Gulf Road and back. Contemplated going up Gulf and climbing to the upper lot on Soapstone - but not today... Back just after the bus came. Cranked it up to 53km/hr on the way down. Not sure I want to go much faster than this...

Helped out at Hayden's Happy Feet running club this afternoon. Bit of butterfly sprint on the field - sprinting in the middle, followed by following either the walk or jog 'wings' back to the start of the sprint up the middle. Followed by a jog/walk on the trails in the woods.
