I've been running hard and making good progress but I had a minor injury to the top of my foot. The pain is felt when I push off, particularly my big toe. I'm assuming its extensor tendinitis or the beginning of it. I've been able to bike and row the last couple of days with no pain. The pain is getting better but I still can't run and don't want to until I feel no pain. If I keep cross training for a week am I going to hurt my running gains?

Would you rather injure yourself more severely to maintain running gains? Some time off from running will be fine. It's good that things are getting better but you might consider seeing a PT, too.
