Still fighting on

This has been a difficult couple of weeks. One day I am running strong and fast, the next I am hobbling along with foot pain or a trapped nerve in my shoulder, or gut rot. I am keeping up the speed and recovery runs, and increasing overall distance, but have fallen by the wayside on the long runs, which have, for the last couple of weeks at least, coincided with the other problems. Which, for marathon training is not great, because it is the long runs that build the endurance - the other runs just help with pace and strength.
