Injury update: The pain/problem is under and slightly forward of the outside ankle bone in my right foot. The area is stiff and painful when moved, especially when using my own power to roll the foot out or when standing on my toes. There is one tender spot very near the ankle bone (slightly below and forward), feels like a tendon. I think I'll try to run on it this week, with reduced time and/or intensity, and see how it goes.

Didn't run, but spent some quality time trying to stretch and work the injured foot. Interestingly, the injury doesn't hurt at all if I relax the foot and move it around with my hands; it's only when I use the foot muscles that it hurts.

Time to try running again! Yeah, I made it around the block; barely. That fucking hurt. Guess I'll spend the rest of my allotted run time googling foot injuries. I really don't want to see a doctor, because they'll just tell me to stay off it and take advil. Maybe I can find some more useful information on my own. UPDATE: While I was at work my foot pain suddenly reduced significantly. If I'm careful, maybe I can be up and running next week!
