I got my first BFR injury today. I had a 5k this morning and I think it hit 36 degrees out over night. Well the race was just after sun up and I think starting temp was maybe 40 degrees. I knew my feet would warm up after I hit about a mile but man were they really cold until then. As soon as the race was over I was putting some shoes on to help warm up my toes. Well I saw there was something stuck to the bottom of my big toe. I tried to flick it off and I realized it was a rock and it was not on the bottom of my toe it was imbedded in my toe.
I guess my feet never really warmed up enough today because I could never feel that it was there. I got the rock out and tried to take a picture but I ended up with a really poor quality pic. I got everything washed and bandaged up. Now my poor toe really hurts.
Here is the poor quality pic from at the race and I will take another pic tonight of it now and post that one later.
Oh, and this is after the rock was out, so it is really a small bloody hole in my toe.
UPDATE ** new pics...the first one is before I soaked my feet and the second one is after. It looks like I scuffed that entire toe up while running. I really need to buy those run amocs for winter.
