Who knew one little toe (the big toe actually… well, technically
the nail of the big toe) could hurt so much?? I know it’s a very yucky topic
but I can’t really think of much else right now so unfortunately, you’re stuck
with the story! I had a feeling that it
might be an uncomfortable run today since my toe was bothering me enough to
wake me up a few times last night and I knew for sure that it would be when
just putting on my sock irritated it. I
opted to bandage it up in the hopes that it would offer some protection against
the friction and impact of hitting against my shoe which, in theory, was a
great idea but unfortunately, didn’t seem to help all that much.
On a brighter (and way less disgusting) note, I had a fabulous
wine phone date with my BFF last night (the bendy member of the Dynamic Duo) during
which she gave me a much needed and incredibly appreciated boost of confidence about
my running… actually, it was more of an all-encompassing boost which was needed
just as much, if not more, than one for my running. She’s just as much of a sucker for a good
inspirational quote/image/monologue/etc. as I am so you can imagine that some
of our conversations have the potential to sound like something out of Jerry
Maguire, the Dr. Phil show or something written on a Lululemon bag. Nonetheless, there just simply isn't anything better than a conversation with someone who knows you better than you do and who can help you see things more clearly regardless of the situation.
