Notes
Ran on the asphalt bike path rather than the dirt on the side. Still having that 'bruise' (for lack of a better diagnosis) on my left forefoot. Started noticing it noticing it back around 8/20. By 8/27th I had decided it was due to the Puma wear test shoes as I noticed a weird feeling in my forefoot when wearing those shoes. I'm pretty sure those shoes developed this issue somehow. Maybe a rock hitting the thin soles in the exact right spot inflamed a nerve or something. Anyway, I stopped running in those shoes 8/27 to see if that would help it recover. It hasn't gotten any better. It was there for the Short Six and it was there for the Stampede, though I cannot say that it hindered me in any way. It's just a feeling of having a bruise on the forefoot area between my big toe and 2nd toe. A little bit of internet sleuthing makes me think it MIGHT be a neuroma (not good news if it is). I'm hoping it's not but I made a doctor appointment on 9/25 to get it checked. It doesn't seem to be getting worse but it's also not getting better.
