The single most important thing you can do when you think you have a running injury is to make a decision, quickly.

You only have two choices.

1. Realize and admit you are injured and get about the business of recovery.

2. Confirm you aren't really injured and then adjust your course to continue your training.

And instead of just kidding about the business of recovering and then training, we just make things worse.
