anybody else? This is what was causing the numb toes I wrote about a couple weeks ago. I've felt this in the ball of my right foot for quite a while, in fact, but it never crippled me and goes away very quickly if I run on a softer surface - I've done the bulk on my running on a grassy meadow lately and would only feel this if I hit a hidden rock or hard lumpy thing.
But I was in the city with the group last week, running BF on cobblestones and I think that sent me over the limit. The ball of my foot is swollen and tough, and was sore all day yesterday and last night. Today, it's already letting up and I think I'll run tomorrow. I have to be careful, though. Gonna wear my Aquashoes.
One thing that I've noticed is I feel this more when I wear my Huaraches than when I'm BF - does that make sense somehow? Maybe just because of the enhanced feedback of the Naked Soles?
Anyway, if there are a few more of you out there, let me know how you've made out with this! The WORST thing is landing on a rock, btw. That mght be another clue to my Huarache problem - I wear them on rocky trails as opposed to the smoth pavement and grassy farm fields I do my nude running on.
