I haven’t bled through a pair of shoes in a while.

TIME TO CHANGE THAT!

Around mile 10 of my marathon today, I realized that the front of my right foot felt kind of wet, as if I’d stepped in a tiny puddle.

Turns out…

I didn’t want to stop to take my shoe off and it wasn’t hurting yet, so I continued onward. It actually didn’t hurt too badly until I got back home and took my shoe and sock off.

Observe:

Could be worse. I thought my toenail just sheered off or something. Instead, I had a hole in the toe of my sock and the exposed part of the toe had the top layers of skin rubbed off. It bled a lot more than it deserved to for that small of an injury.

Bandage has been applied; walking and running must resume!
