<p>I haven't had any injuries like tears or fractures that would force me into not running. I've had to stop running for a couple weeks due to surgery and another couple weeks after getting bucked off a horse and hurting my back. I didn't have a choice either of those times. Until this year, I rarely took a day off from running regardless of what my body might have been trying to tell me. I learned a lot this past year healing up from bursitis of the sit-bones - about listening to my body and taking Rest Days - I take 2 per week now. I'm better at discerning what twinges and pains will work themselves out on the run and which need some TLC.</p>

<p>About the foot FO, I'd run as long as it doesn't get worse and ice after running.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Plan for this week is to forego any speedwork. I'm antsy to regain my old "usual pace" of 10 mpm, but apparently overdid it introducing speedwork the last two weeks.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Monday: 4 miles .... DONE...slowly: 12 mpm</p>
<p>Tuesday: 5 miles .... DONE... progression run: 12, 11:30, 11, 10:40, 10:30</p>
<p>Wednesday: 8 miles .... DONE ...3-mile warm-up: 12, 11:30, 11:20; then 5 miles at 11 mpm</p>
<p>Thursday: 4 miles .... DONE... 1 mile warm-up at 11:30; then 3 miles at 11 mpm</p>
<p>Friday: 5 miles .... 2 miles; then had to abort when Rt AT locked up, reminding me about the "2 rest days" plan.</p>
<p>Saturday: yoga and maybe hiking</p>
<p>Sunday: 10 miles trail running....11 DONE</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Total: 34 miles</p>
