Ran with Justin and Cooper for 2 loops, kept going until 5.

At the beginning of the run there was an "incident" with Cooper's feet and mine getting tangled that left me nearly screaming in pain.  I kept going though, and the pain dissipated, until the end when it came back as a pain on the outside of my right foot (where the "incident" had happened), so I ended up stopping my loop early.  At home though, the pain was RADIATING from my foot, this was super intense, I could barely walk, it was throbbing, and I was so worried, pretty much guaranteed I had a broken foot or something.  Great, right when I'm finally running a lot and doing well.  Took 3 advil and it finally got a little better.

This morning (Wednesday) it feels way better though.  I'm resting today (maybe tomorrow too?) and am hopeful that maybe its NOT broken?  Idiot dog.

Sorry Nicole. I hope it's not a break.
