My main concern over the previous day was my foot. It's been my experience that when the cuboid bone in my foot lines up properly, there is no pain. Wearing a small moleskin patch under the hurt area has pushed things back into place and I've been pain-free since yesterday afternoon. I ran 9 miles this morning without pain.
My big issue now is how can I find the root cause of the problem so this doesn't happen again. The trigger seems to be intense races and also fast speed intervals. I think in the first few weeks after the Fargo marathon I'll go for a good shoe fitting. I've only ever worn one model of shoe so there may be something else that is better for me.
I made marks on my foot where the pain was and where I put the moleskin patch. I'll take pictures of those for my records..... not to post here.
Update: My foot still feels good. I found a picture of the foot bones on the internet and put a circle on the picture where the problem is. Now I don't have to take a photo but will have something to show my doc if I ever need to go in.
My issue is at the front of the cuboid bone, not the back as the diagram from the other day shows.

I broke a process off my cuboid during the 1981 City of Lakes Marathon and didn't run for three months. Hope you heal faster than I do.
Steve, I think mine will heal faster. I updated the blog entry with a pic where I circled the trouble area. I'll bring that to my next shoe fitting, or doc, whoever I see first.
