Personal:

Pride necessarily sprouts and grows; a pride that can only come from relentless kneading of unwilling flesh, painful months of grinding and burning away all that is heavy, all that is strength-sapping and useless to the body as a projectile. --John L. Parker, Jr., runner/author

Committed a cardinal sin yesterday...skipped my long run.  And frankly, I didn't do much today to make up for it.  10 Miles on the treadmill in 85 minutes.

I'm trying to stay positive, and I've continued to train through it, but my left foot is really bothering me.  The bone running along the outside of my foot hurts (particularly in the morning and after running), and I have what I think is a stone bruise on my heel.

Need to keep an eye out for possible stress fractures with foot pain. Pain on the top of the foot is an early indicator of that in my experience ( having had 2 sfx's in my running years).

Sounds similar to what I've been struggling with. I hope it heals quickly for you, riding a stationary bike at around 90 rpms is a decent way to maintain fitness while resting your foot. You likely already know that. Best of luck!

That's good advice, and I'm probably going to have to mix things up for a few weeks. Note that I say this with a certian amount of disgust...

Thanks for checking in.
