AM - turf + 4 on hilton, 5:57 pace. haven't had a reason to mention it but i've had a blister on my index toe from the tight toebox on the fly's that's been giving me hell the last week or so(every time i put on shoes it takes about 10 minutes for the limp to fade from adjusting to the pain). anyway the pain started fading yesterday and the blister had darkened so i thought i was good to pop it; incorrect. entry is about to get nasty but basically the blister was right behind the base of the nail, and as the blister swoll it pushed the nail up. I assumed popping the blister would just get everything back to normal, but instead under the blister i see the nail base now starts like halfway farther up the toe, and that other half is basically a gaping hole over the knuckle barely being covered by the deflated blister. it's absolutely gross. put a few bandaids on it trying to keep that hole closed, i honestly don't even know how to approach this besides ignore it and hope it fixes itself.
anyway with all that being said i was hesitant to run because i'm sure it wouldn't help, but i've been on a nice streak and i'd hate to lose fitness over something this stupid. would you be shocked to know my sock was bloody after this; not sopping but still
ignoring that the run felt super easy; perfect weather(high 40's, drizzling, no wind) but not sure if i'll see it again for another run today. and all because of a toe-tal farce of an injury.
