I did something incredibly stupid. I wasn't going to admit to it but this is my running blog and I need to tell you why I'm not running. I hurt my foot. I wish I could tell you I hurt it during an incredible run. But I can't. I was sitting at my computer Tuesday night. I had my leg curl underneath me. My foot fell asleep. I got up and stepped wrong and my foot collapsed under me and I fell hard. I immediately felt pain. Each foot has 26 bones 30 joints and over 100 tendons and ligaments. I was sure I broke many bones and tore all the ligaments. I went to bed and did not sleep worrying about not being able to run or even walk. The next morning I was in pain. I was watching Willow then we were leaving to go camping. No time for doctors. I used lots of ice and hobbled around. My foot was swollen and many colors. Each day it has gotten a little better. The swelling is down and I can walk without grimacing. It is far from normal but I think it will be okay. Looking forward to running again but being cautious and letting it heal.
