Foot Pain

Today, I decided to take it a little easy, and as it was raining to boot, I just did a 1 hour walk on the treadmill. Walked like 2.78 miles. Generally, this only gets my heart up to the low end of my target heart rate, but its better than sitting at home eating a twinkie. :)

So in my hurry to go out this morning and exercise, I just threw on my clothes and headed out, not paying attention too much as to how I put on my socks. Well, about 50 minutes into the run, my left foot started burning pretty badly, and I figured I may have had a twisted sock or some such in my shoe. Like a fool, I didn't do anything about it until after I was done with my walk and limping.

I got a small blister on the ball of my foot, and now am going to have all day of limping around on it to remember that pain isn't something to be trifled with when working out. It usually tells you that you are doing something wrong, and that like many of us exercisers, I chose to ignore it.

Well, I will take it slowly today, and hopefully tomorrow, it is better.

Later
