I've been having this pain in my foot for, I don't know, maybe the last month?  Once I was outside by the pool slightly limping and my wife asked what was wrong.  I thought it was just a bunion or something so I told her nothing.  Well, early last week I decided to actually look at my foot.  I see this brown dot surrounded by pus.  I'm like, "Oh wow.  I have a splinter.  I guess there was something wrong."  Well, my wife was at girl's camp, and I wasn't brave enough to dig it out myself.  I figured I had been running on it this whole time so I did do another run last week.  But then I took a bunch of days off.  She finally got it out yesterday.  She poked and tweezed and prodded and squeezed.  She was getting bits and pieces of it out.  Or something out.  Then she finally squeezed and out pops this shard of glass!  So I've been running around for the last month with a shard of glass in my foot!

Anyway, it's a bit tender this morning.  But I was able to run fine.  I was super slow even though it was somewhat nice out.  I saw slow man and the hobo today.  My wife walked with two of my daughters, but I never saw them even though they were Flyby's on Strava.

My wife and I are taking a little trip up to Utah.  So if any of you Utah bloggers want to get on My Bloggers I've Met in Real Life list, now's the time.

Whoa that’s crazy!! A shard of glass huh? You’re a champ.

You going to pass through Cedar on your way back?? Wish I’d have caught you while I was still in slc :)

Thanks, Sarah! We had a good time. We flew in to Provo and drove up through SLC and into Park City. What are you doing back in Cedar? I thought you were transferring to BYUI?

Oh that’s so fun!! I hope you guys had a good time :) I’ve actually been working on campus at SUU for a while, I came back to work for the summer. Today was my last day. I’ll be moving back to Salt Lake tomorrow for about a month and then up to BYUI in September!
