Ii really hate the way all those zeros look. On Tuesday near the end of my run, I experienced a sharp pain in the top of my right foot that reduced me to walking home. Later, it swelled up slightly and turned into a bruise. I had Meredith poke at it, and then Wednesday I stopped by practice to talk to Christian about it. One of the other runners is a kinesiologue so he looked at it, also. Neither of them thought it was a stress fracture (that was my first fear, except for the suddenness of the pain) but Joel gave me some analgesic cream and we decided it was best to rest it awhile. By Sunday, the bruise had faded and the area wasn't even sore if I poked at it, so I went out on a test run with Meredith and it felt fine!
