No run.

Ball of middle toe pain got worse. Now I remembered why I lost motivation a couple of years ago. To many injuries. Anyway I'll probably hang up my jogging shoes for a few days and see if it will get better. If I can't do 60 miles a week for most of March I'll bag marathons this year. The sad thing was that I kept feeling a little stronger every week. I was hoping to put a little more distance between me and that Tom guy who has gotten way to fast.

Terry I'm bummed the injury bug is creeping up on you. I really would like to see what you could do on 60 MPW over 6 mos. I suppose I've just been extraordinarily lucky to not get nailed with injuries the last year. I know at times I've been on the hairy edge of breakdown. I guess everyone has a different threshold of what their body will let them do. At least you're smart enough to know when to hang up the shoes for a few days. Not sure if I've learned that for myself yet.

Hope it all works out for you.

That bites. I hope its just a temporary setback.

I'm no podiatrist, but I was feeling some pain in my two middle toes that may be similar to what you describe. My online research led me to diagnose it as Morton's neuroma (http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/mortons-neuroma/DS00468/DSECTION=7). A couple of my running buddies also had doctor's diagnose similar pain as Morton's neuroma. I got some better arch supports and new shoes, and backed off the mileage for a while. That seemed to help both the neuroma and the PF. You probably already knew all of that, but I thought I'd toss it out anyway. I hope you recover soon.
