38F, N 20 mph.  8:13 AP.  Foot felt really good when I woke up, so I did this on the roads.  Pretty much didn't feel it while running, just afterward.  It seems to be at its worst for the first hour or two after running.  So much better than Tuesday though.  I probably just had a little micro tear from landing funny somewhere in the race, maybe avoiding puddles.

I'll continue to ice it and take ibuprofen and probably just run through this one with just a couple modifications - cancel the PM run today, and move tomorrow's 16 x 400 to next week and just run the mileage easy tomorrow.  I'll replace a LT workout next week with the 16 x 400, since LT has been worked hard recently anyway.  By then I'll pretty much be in the specific phase, building up toward Boston.  Basically, this will be an ad hoc recovery week to be ready for the tough stuff coming up.

sounds like a good plan, especially moving that 16 x 400. something to look forward to!

Root canals, 16 x 400s, working overtime...just a few of my favorite things.

From allie on Thu, Jan 17, 2013 at 07:59:36 from 161.38.221.168

ohhh, root canals -- they're right up there with magic brownies.

Good move Joe. You'll probably benefit more from an easy week than you realise. Hope the foot settles.

Good that the foot is getting better quickly. I've sworn myself off of Ibuprofen after reading up on the effects it has on runners (at the advice of DTheo)!

That's a good plan. You had a good cycle leading up to Houston, and Boston is still a ways off. Smart to make sure you are recovered and not dealing w/ any injuries as you get into the meat of the marathon buildup.

From Jason D on Thu, Jan 17, 2013 at 09:38:00 from 128.210.82.162

Good plan, Joe. Ah, the pain, the pleasure of 400s. Why does .25 hurt so good/bad?

From Rye on Thu, Jan 17, 2013 at 21:10:32 from 65.129.65.215

You are an animal Joe....keep up the good work! Oh what I would give for 38 degree weather!
