Should I take a week off?

I injured my right foot during my 1/2 marathon 2 weeks ago. That was on a Sunday. That Tuesday, I thought I'd try to run on it and got about a mile. The following Sunday I walked about 3 miles. This past week I did the elliptical and it wasn't bothering me much at all. Then I got a massage yesterday. My foot is KILLING ME today. I was thinking I'd just go to the gym and do things that don't require my feet when it dawned on me that about the only things I do where there is no pressure on my feet is the pull up machine and ab work. Everything else I'm adding weight. I would just go to do arm work, but I KNOW myself and if I go, I'll hop on the elliptical or the treadmill. I can do some arm and ab work at home. I know I SHOULD take a week off, so I'm asking for permission!LOL
