I think I've been consistently testing the limits of what my foot can do. Since the first time I really injured my foot, I have not been particularly crippled at all. Occasionally (like today, which is why I'm writing about this) there has been a ghost of pain saying "Don't push it. This is as far as I can go." I am currently sitting with my foot up and with ice on it, not because I'm in agony but as a preventive measure.
Sidebar: Is it preventive or preventative? The internet is very unclear.
As much as I really want to go run again tomorrow, I think I will play it safe and take another day to rest and just leisurely walk. I'm really flying pretty blind here, since I haven't found a reliable resource about my particular problem, and just listening to my body. The fact is, I now love running and I would be sad if I couldn't continue doing it. I just have to remember to take it slow because the whole point of this is to make my life pain free, and not to further injure myself.
