2 Miles barefoot before sunrise with Sparky. I am starting to feel really comfortable with the early wake-up. It's the 9:30 bedtime that is giving me fits! Of all the ignominious running injuries one can possibly sustain while barefoot, I think I have located the stupidest: dogs stepping on you. Remember that chow that attacked us recently? He stepped on my bare foot and scratched my foot with his nastly ol' toenails. That was my first barefoot injury. Well, today Sparky lunged after a barking dog behind a fence, and ground my pinky toe into the pavement as he took off. Now it is swollen and stinging. Da! He only weighs 17 lbs.! I hope it is not broken, again. Humph. |
