My recent mileage looks like this:

last Monday--8.3
Tuesday--0
Wednesday--0
Thursday--8
Friday--0
Saturday--0
Sunday--0
Monday--????

That's a lot of zero mileage days...I've been icing and taping my foot (well, Bill has been taping my foot), and trying to stay off it as much as possible. I don't think it's anything major, but I'm doing what I can to make sure it doesn't turn into anything major. I am going to try to run on it tonight and see how it goes. My training plan calls for 8 tonight--but I won't go that far even it feels great (and I will be surprised if it feels GREAT). I don't want to push my luck. I don't want to reverse whatever healing it has done in the past week or so.

So that's where I'm at. It's a bummer to have an injury after being so committed to my training plan up to this point, but it happens. I also feel like a fat slob because (although I am not running much) my appetite is still in marathon mode.

My saving grace, of course, is that my obsession with the Olympics is keeping me occupied.
