I use the term "rock" very lightly because this thing was smaller than a pea.
So, this morning while out running I picked up a pebble on the bottom of my big toe. I came down on it right at the base of the pad and the pressure that shot through my toe felt as though my toe nail was going to shoot off. I came to a screeching halt because I actually though I had picked up a nail, tac, glass shard or something besides a tiny freaking rock.
I knocked the rock off then took a few steps to test things out. It hurt bad. I couldn't believe it. That area of my toe is very, very sensitive anyway for some reason. I used to have a callous there that has worn off since starting BFR so maybe that is it. Anyway, after a min or so of walking I was able to run again with very little discomfort and so was able to finish my first 2 mi fartlek run(was loads of fun!).
I washed my feet and checked it out closely after getting home. There is not even a scratch. The area is a little tender but otherwise fine. Funny thing thoug is that about 1/4" up from where I landed on the rock, on the side of my toe up closer to my toe nail I have a small bruise. Of course, this is the same toe that I have been trying to kill with death by stubbing. lol
Can't wait for Wednesday's run! Woot!
