Notes

Have pain in what I believe is my tibialis anterior manifesting in the front of my ankle. Pretty sure it's just muscular because I can get some relief by working trigger points, and I can still run on it, but it seemed like I was taking one step forward with therapy and two steps back on each run. Opted to take the day off because there's no reason to slog through a 7:30 pace run to save the streak just to make things worse (happy jrt?).

I think root cause is my lovely black toenail since I was trying to keep pressure off of it during the first couple of runs after the marathon. That meant stressing my tibialis anterior excessively and landing on it in an especially contracted state. Just my guess, but I think it makes sense. In that regard, probably should have taken a couple days off right after the marathon just to get to a point where I could put pressure on the toe mostly normally. Oh well, I've dealt with worse.
