Disabled List
March 3, 2010
Aggravatingly, training screeched to a halt on Monday when I awoke to a dull, pulsating pain in the sole of my left foot. My last run was on a Saturday, but two days later my foot was in full on rebellion. I theorize that the weight of the pack and increase in mileage are to blame for what seems to be a very intense bruise to the left of my big toe. In all my years as a runner I have never experienced such an injury, which is part of the reason I pushed on when I should have stopped.
Continuous icing and anti-inflammatories helped ease the pain and hopefully, a new pair of Asics Nimbus from the Jack Rabbit store on 14th Street will provide more cushioning than my other worn out trainers.
