my left foot


my left foot

This is a picture of the preparations I made to my left foot before my run this morning. The blue thing is a piece of a sponge, cut into an annulus, that protects the bruise I have on the little bone that sticks out of the top of my foot. Here is the story. I have been running more lately. My feet are not happy about this, particularly my left foot. I tend to run on my toes, which I'm told is excellent for sprinting but less excellent for everyday jogging. This causes me to get blisters, so I tie my shoes extra tight to try to avoid them. I managed to tie my shoes too tight, I guess, and ended up with the most annoying bruise. Anyways, taping a sponge to the top of my foot works wonders! I highly recommend it.
