I ran really well on Sunday after taking the week off but I had some pain yesterday (Monday is an off day). I was going to run this morning but I wanted to wait and see how it felt during the day today.
I'm happy that the pain moved to the front of my foot because I read that where the pain was before is a bad location for a stress fracture but now I'm worried I got another one in one of my metatarsals.
Ugh!

make sure your work shoes/weekend shoes have enough support. toe spacers and rolling out foot on a frozen water bottle daily might also help. how are your ankles, hips?

I decided not to run anymore 1/2s for the time and focus on getting as fit as possible for the Marine Corp Marathon in late October. Currently doing 12+ miles at sub 8 min, so I'm feeling ahead of the curve for it.

it's tough not to be disappointed when this happens. i had a sub 4 this may but was still disappointed with my overall time. it's hard when you have 18 weeks of hard training/sacrifices. but, every race is a learning experience and you're stronger/smarter from the outcome
i did marine corps last year! have you done it before? it's a great course, awesome energy. make sure you have the race morning logistics ironed out- i almost missed the start because of how long the shuttle lines were. should have gotten there much earlier than i did. ended up having to get a last-minute uber --> a mile walk/shuffle --> right into 26.2 race haha.
