Ugh.... The joys of winter. My goal this past week was to do a 35 minute barefoot or sock run. Temps haven't been too great here in upstate NY.
A few issues going on, some sort of stomach bug has been hampering my plans. I performed a little sliver dig out in the pad of my right foot Thursday, that's healed now.
I've learned via a BRS column I am pretty sure I have Morton's Toe and from the sounds of it, who doesn't. Blister on the left food behind the middle toe from a treadmill run 2 weeks ago is just about completely cleared up, just some outside dead skin left to come off.
My other minor area of concern on my right foot, pain (dull ache) in the area of the inner sesamoid (closer to the middle toe). Is it merely a bruise, still present even well after a week of not running, is it a broken up once fused area that has now become operational again since ditching the running shoes, or is it running form related (last run I did was in socks due to cold temps and afterward that area was the only area to have developed a hole in the stock)?
Really want to get that 35 minute run in or even any run even if its less than 35 minutes. The lasted winter storm Nemo has made things a little sloppy outside as well. Granted here we were not hit like those of you to the east, I hope things clear up quickly for those of you on the NE coastal states.
A winter storm called Nemo, all I could think of was a little orange fish swimming through a blizzard.
Ok I'm rambling now so I'll stop, any ideas, thoughts or comments appreciated.
