Another Setback

It's been a difficult week.  My foot swelled up from too much walking last weekend and I had to take an entire day off to elevate the foot, and yesterday (when I only did 30 minutes of cycling) the entire left leg swelled up about an extra inch.  My knee is still periodically bothering me when I exercise and I'm really afraid I did something bad to it. 

It seems like I'm actually in worse shape now than when I started treatment for the broken foot.  Not I'm not sure if I could even do the half marathon coming up in 5 weeks or the Nike Women's marathon.  I found out you can at least unofficially downgrade to the half marathon, but if something is really wrong with my knee or leg then I might be up the creek with no paddle anyway.

The only thing I can do is cycling, but even that's bothering my knee slightly.  It's hard not to be depressed or to be motivated when the foot/leg/knee keeps going downhill. :(
