Light jog to the start. (Late...)

Light jog for ~85%. R-Foot a little sore for ~10 minutes after I finished until I stretched it out. R-knee lightly sore from yesterday's tree branch. L-foot (same tendon as normal R-foot spot) a little sore afterwards.

Light rain and foot mildly sore in parking lot while standing around before the start. Planned to walk whole way, but ended up slow jogging ~20%. Foot totally fine at end.

Foot very lightly sore on and off during exercises and very lightly sore this morning. Nothing really bad though, and it is supposed to rain this afternoon/evening.

Plus I did 5 minutes of shoulder deep water bounce jogging.

Good semi-rough ground, and some fast walk/run steps chasing AJ around. Foot a little sore on one running step, but otherwise fine. Foot fine now in evening. Walking barefoot in the house I still need to limp, and turning right corners is still a big limp thing, indoors or even out in shoes.

20 Dual Calf raises and then in-the-air ankle work.

At shoulder depth, bouncing off of bottom. (Named "Mid-Water Jog" below... there's got to be a better phrase for this...)
--
As one angle to get toward running, I want to start doing, say, 10-15 minutes of this, 2x/wk, at slowly shallower depths.

Plus, terrain walks 2x/wk (weekend and Wed/Thu)

Plus, good aerobic/anaerobic swimming & water running 2x/wk.

I think I need to redo my schedule:
Sat/Sun: Terrain Walk+
Mon: Water Aerobics
Tue: Swim/Water Run Mod/Hard + Mid-Water Jog
Wed: Terrain Walk + Gym Weights
Thu: Swim/Water Run Mod/Hard + Mid-Water Jog
Fri: Gym Weights

Also of note is that for the 5 days or so, the walking pain/convenience scale has tipped to the point where I no longer wear shoes in the house (I'm barefoot again.) For the first few days I had to limp quite a bit to much sure this was nearly pain free. Today this has been nearly pain free despite almost no limping. (Still, I get some pain when turning a corner to the right, while stepping off the right foot.)

Regular

Walked around the complex with the baby jogger when Ori was upset. In grass, w/O'shoes & active ankle. Foot fine.

ONA 2. Of note, I have started doing calf exercises again. Today I did 20x on both feet with no support from upper body. Foot did a little light burning at some point in evening, but that may have been the walk.

On grass, in blue running shoes. Foot was a little sore, but not too bad.

I had what is likely my last podiatry visit for this exercise:
- No plan for new orthotics unless ramping up activity fails.
- Semi-conflicting advice:
"Take it to the next level" vs. "with all your exercise, imagine me whispering in your ear 'take it easy'..."
- Sprints are hard, so I shouldn't do any of those until I can do lots of normal, easy-pace running with no pain at all.

Walking around rocky forest trails and some off-trail, in running shoes. Foot (R-normal spot) would get very lightly tired/sore occasionally, but would recover in seconds if I stopped. Stretched out well before and moderately after.

Pool was closed (not enough bromine !?) and so I did some very slow stair-climber work and arm bike stuff. The stair climber made my foot lightly sore after 4 minutes, and the arm bike made my arms tired, but I wasn't breathing too hard... plus it was dull... blah. So I went for a walk for general foot strengthing.
