After this maintenance run, I felt that taking a couple of extra days to rest my right foot was the best call. These last two weeks of training, while definitely a huge downer, definitely put the process of marathon training in a clear, realistic perspective: it is brutally difficult on one's body. I have been running since 1998 and know this well. My goal is to power through this nagging injury, because I have done it before, but most importantly I am a stubborn jackass who really wants to run this marathon. A reasonable person would probably go to the doctor and be told to lay off for a month to six weeks, which is what I should do, but...
