Looks like I'm done running for awhile. I've had a nagging pain in my right ankle/shin ever since the marathon, and finally went to the doc about it. Turns out it's a stress fracture. I've never had one, and I'm very surprised that it happened, but I suspect that it has a lot to do with the fact that the marathon was downhill, which I had not trained for, and I ran the first 20 miles at almost 45 seconds a mile faster than I had trained for.

I really should start taking my own advice at some point and run smarter. I shouldn't have run that race faster than I had trained for.
