Off.

Gave my foot the lateral squeeze test and poked around near the third and forth metatarsal head and got the distinct clicking/popping/grinding of a neuroma. Just resting it for now, wearing my wide toebox Altras around the house. I will likely go some cross training once I get this round of papers shipped off. High incline walking didn't seem to bother too much. I think I will also rig up a ball of the foot pad with some tape to keep it in place. I think this is what I did 7 years ago, but I wasn't on the blog and didn't keep any other form of notes.

Grading. I've been icing my foot and taking pain reliever to make sure the neuroma doesn't get beyond its intitial stages. Frustrated but not enough to try running. It's been snowing a good bit and there is nowhere around here thats decent to run.

I haven't been cross training as I have been grading and talking myself out of going to the gym. I still can't be sure whether or not cross training will make it worse.

I have still been grading and icing. I have been taking pain reliever more regularly. Today the foot has felt pretty good. No weird twinges or anything. So much for cross training this thing. Hoping a 10-14 day rest period will rest this thing and I can get back to business.

PM: 6 miles on the treadmill in 55:30

Started out slow and picked it up somewhat. My foot felt fine, then around 13-18' it felt slightly weird, but then it felt completely fine so I kept running.

I used a ball of the foot pad behind the metatarsal head and my old Altras, which seem to be the right combo.

Felt great to run and sweat.
