Well, all the talk yesterday about speed work had me ready to do some intervals on yesterday's run since it was on an easier trail. The plan was to run 20 minutes out, turn around and alternate sprinting and walking on the way back. The first half of the run was going really well...until I snagged my right pinky toe (in VFFs; probably wouldn't have happened, or at least been as bad, if I were barefoot) on a root so that it got wrenched and jammed all at the same time. OUCH!! I checked it out and didn't see any evidence of a fracture or dislocation (just bruised and probably sprained), then stuck the foot in the river for a few minutes hoping to dull the pain a little (unfortunately the river wasn't cool enough to do that) before turning around and running/walking back. Needless to say, I didn't end up doing those sprints! It was actually a little easier to run than walk in terms of the pain, but I was constantly afraid I'd snag it again or stub it. It still hurts just as much today and is swollen and bruised--why did I have to be such a klutz? Hopefully it won't take too long to feel better.
