I'm trying to be good. I've been icing, stretching, taking loads of ibuprofen, walking around on my heels, then toes, and icing and stretching some more. I do not want to miss too much running -- running keeps me sane, calm, and in shape. However, my stubbornness has caused past injuries to linger far too long, so I know I have to take it easy if I'm hurt.
I just ran for the first time since Monday, for about half an hour at the gym on the treadmill, just in case I had foot pain and had to bail out and *shudder* use the elliptical machine. The run went surprisingly well, with only a minor amount of pain after the run. Tomorrow morning I'm going to run outdoors for an hour.

Hah, I was wondering the same thing! :-> Alas, I'll keep pushing the elliptical envelope a while longer, while I continue my weight loss--still a good long way to go, and I want to be kind to my joints. Looking forward to running more, though.
Hope the return to running continues to go well.
