Bloody Foot

Sometimes I get back from a run and feel like I've been in a war zone...

I forgot to include in my Saturday Long Run post that I bled all over two pair of shoes.  After about two miles, I noticed that my middle toe on my right foot was hurting.  The pain was coming from the next toe (well the toe nail).  I tried to re adjust my foot, but the pain was still there.

I changed shoes and socks after my running group finished their run and didn't notice that my foot was bleeding.  When I finished my last eight miles I looked down and saw the blood all over my right shoe!  

When I got home and put both pair of shoes on the porch to dry I saw that both right foot shoes were bloody.  I checked out my foot, but only found a small cut.  How does that much blood come from such a small cut?

Anyway, I cleaned up my shoes and put a band aid on my toe and went on with my day.  Yesterday, I ran the bridge and noticed that my band aid had fallen off and the pain was back.  I couldn't believe it, my foot was bleeding again!  I cleaned it up and put a band aid back on and it seemed fine during my next two runs.

Well... I feel better now that I shared that with everyone...
