I cringed when I read that, J! Don't you dare yank it out yourself. Go to a podiatrist or your family doctor. If it's attached at a point too deep, you could experience some severe bleeding. Yikes. I got the ibby-gibbies. Whatever you decide...take pictures! Hee.

He didn't actually remove it, though I wanted him to. He just filed it all the way down, but I'm still nervous it will bug me. He was interested in how far I had run barefoot and how it was going. He was excited to have someone to talk about at his next podiatry convention - apparently barefoot running really is the topic of the day. He took the "exception" line of reasoning as to why I can comfortably run barefoot. He said I have "gutsy feet". In general, he's been a good egg about it.

That's nice, J, at least he
That's nice, J, at least he wasn't negative about it and didn't make you feel like a loon. My first podiatrist thought it was cool, my second and third podiatrists thought I was nuts, and my third and final podiatrist didn't have a clue, since I didn't tell him. He did notice that my skin was "thick." He was like, "Hmmm, your skin is quite thick on the pads of your feet. Do you realize this?" I'm like, "Uh, no." He's all, "Must be because you're a runner." And that was it, moved on to the next thing.
