Since I didn't think it would be wise to run 800s today I just decided to do my 6 miles and pick up the pace just a tiny bit. The plan was to see how far and how fast my foot would let me go and then stop if it got to be too much. Luckily I didn't have to stop. There was a minimal amout of pain in my foot and ankle but nothing extreme. At the end of the run I was not limping and as I type this there is only a bit of stiffness but not much pain. I plan to continue the ice and anti-inflamatories through the end of this week and then see where we are next Monday. The pain in the foot sort of feels like a mild sprained ankle, only I don't seem to remember ever spraining my ankle. As some have said, it is most likely a bit of tendonitis that can hopefully heal up relatively easily. I plan to take it pretty easy the rest of this week. This was a planned reduced mileage week anyway so it should work out well. Hopefully I'll get some nice recovery and healing for a good three week push to SGM before the taper.
Time: 51:04 8:31/mile
