So, the pain on top of my left foot continued through my tempo run today.  I wore my foot pod on the right foot and the right foot was fine.  The left foot is a little tender to the touch, but not extremely painful.  It gets worse the further I run.  I don’t think it’s a stress fracture.  I’ve done a little bit of research on the problem, and I may just be tying my shoes a little too tight.  In any case, I’ll have two days off from running now, so hopefully that will help.

Actual workout

1 mile warmup

2 miles at 9:32 pace

1 mile cool down

During my mile cool down, I had the motivation to continue with the next mile running, but my foot was beginning to hurt and I didn’t want to jeopardize Saturday’s long run.  I’ll do a strength session tomorrow, take Friday off and try the 9 mile long run on Saturday.
