Running in Gatesville. Nice weather at 57 degrees. My foot was sore but not enought to cause a limp. Conditioning is getting better. I was planning on running 12 but misjudged the route slightly. Stopped at 11.5 as it was getting pretty hard after 10.

Planned an easy run today but it seemed a little harder than it should. Felt a little sore and tried and my foot was hurting. Going to see foot doctor #1 tomorrow.

Doctor's Report:

Doctor #1 says I need surgery again. Apparently the toe bone is not aligned in the socket of my foot causing bone on bone irritation. If I don't have it fixed it will continue to just get worse, eventyally needing joint replacement. The operation will involve cutting/shortening the bone in my foot and reconstruction of the joint. Four weeks in a boot and then 3-4 months recovery. No garantee it will work but really no option at this point. 

I need to decide when to have the surgery. I have several series roping events coming up in the next few weeks but if I wait it will be July before there is an opening in the schedule. I am really hating this as I know what I went through the last time and it was NOT fun. Ahhhhh!!!

Despite the looming surgery I will continue to run as much as my foot will allow. It's ashamed since I'm just now starting to feel like I'm getting back into shape.

My HR monitor seems to be broken. After about 5 miles it again started reading an unrealisticly high HR. Tried a new battery to see if that might be the problem.
