Looks like this week will be a recovery week. I went out a little too hard last Saturday with the speed work and now I have some swelling on the bottom of my foot on the forefoot area between the 2nd and 3rd toes. It was hurting me (probably a 2 or 3 on a scale going up to 10) when walking or sitting around, but I decided to test it out on a run on Tuesday. I ran 6.5 miles barefoot without any noticeable pain, but the next day I could definitely pick out the swelling on the bootm of my right foot. I’m going to stop all running this week until it is healed completely. It’s just a few weeks away from my marathon training program and I don’t want to be injured on the first week.
