On a nice Friday afternoon I met up with Will at dog park. I started in my Splay shoes and could tell they really helped reduce the pain in my foot. But they are so floppy I could not do anything in them. Switched to 440s and the foot pain came back quickly. Ugh. I was able to kickflip quickly though. Went for a 3rd shoe which was the Vans wafflecup and it seemed like a decent compromise. I did not skate well, but had some good feeling crooks on the new butter bench. Had one front 50 on the lurb that felt good. Hucked a bunch of noseslide 270 shoves, some of which were close. Will was very quick to 50 and nosegrind everything. Then he went in on manual kickflip out which took him a while. What a cool trick. The bonus nosegrind was a nice touch. Glad to get some skating in, really hoping this foot pain goes away though.

After work stopped by the parks to test out my foot and man it was not good. So on Monday I was playing tennis with Liz trying to break in some new Foy cupsoles and my foot started hurting. I didn’t think much of it at the time, but man it did not go away. Even pushing hurt as it’s my back foot. So I went over to the skatepark right as Dave was rolling up. I had no confidence and didn’t do much. Dave revealed the Gat Air which he did several time. I wanted to do it too, but it was too much for my back foot. Did some fun bean plants. Dave had done some lines in the pond avoiding the kids. The lipslide was so good. Hope my foot gets better soon!
