Rhett

2 very gentle easy miles on the tail this morning. No pain, but was getting less comfortable the more I ran.  It will be interesting to see how it feels tomorrow.

I decided, with my cut back on running from this injury, it would be a good time to start doing my core work again so I spent about 20 minutes doing core work after the run.

It's looking less and less likely that I will be able to run any of the marathon on May 7th. I woke up to a sore foot this morning after those 2 really slow, easy miles yesterday.  Oh well, if I can't run, I'll just go and be a cheerleader for my buddy Blake and hope he BQs so we can run Boston together next year.

50 minutes elliptical, which does not hurt my foot at all, follwed by some core work.

50 minutes cycling. It was beautiful out this morning. I can't run but I'm glad I was able to get outside for some exercise. 

I went to the podiatrist this afternoon. He took X-rays. There is no fracture. That's the good news. He says my 4th metatarsal joint is inflamed. All I can do is rest it. That means no running till it is better. Then he says after 2 months if it isn't better he will inject it with cortisone. Looks like the odds of me running a marathon in a little over 3 weeks is small. 

10 minutes on the ladder machine

core work

20 minutes on arc trainer-- as long as I keep my heel pressed down I don't seem to cause any strain on the injured part of my foot. At least I can do most everything else besides running and jumping.

Biked for 75 minutes on a windy morning then core work
