Foot

This thing with my foot doesn't seem to be getting any better. It was raining this evening, so I went to the gym to try to get 7 miles in on the treadmill. I figured the soft level surface would make it possible for me to get the distance in.
I was doing OK for 3.5 miles, then all of a sudden the pain got fairly intense and I had to pull up. After a short rest, I gave it another try, but that lasted all of 2 strides and I decided it wasn't worth it to risk making it worse. I just climbed off and went home.
I will not run again this week until at least Saturday. In the interim I'll probably do my workouts on the eliptical trainer. Saturday's run is supposed to be a 20-miler, but I have a feeling that's not going to be possible. If I have to start my taper now to give this a chance to heal, that's what I'll do. I'm in good enough shape that I should still be able to run in Dallas.
