FIrst major injury

With my head in the clouds, I was not watching my step closely, and stubbed my toe. The tip hurt for a minute, and then went away. Not a problem. About 100 meters later I felt some strong pain on the proximal end of my toe. I had to limp home. AND to add insult to injury, I have to wear my old sneakers as a splint to allow it to heal. Strange, my sneakers are pretty uncomfortable now. Eye foot coordination still needs some work, apparently.

How is it

That I run two miles barefoot, and not a scratch on my foot, and later that day step off a curb and tweak my ankle? I blame my shoes. It happened on Saturday. I'm ok, very minor injury. I'll be running again today.

Puerto Rico

Running in Puerto Rico was very nice. It was mountainous, so I limited myself to avoid overuse injuries. Running uphill a gravel strewn road isn't bad, downhill is damn near impossible. Rincon, PR- I highly recommenced it to anyone who wants to be lazy in the jungle/beach (which is why I only ran once.)
