No running today my toe is still giving me problems, I am optimistic that I will be able to get out tomorrow morning at least that is the plan... This is so stupid. Why do these things have to happen? I just don't get it! Oh well, see ya tomorrow.

Don't get too down Clay. You will be running again in no time. Look at it as extra recovery time for your leg.

I know. But it is just so darn annoying it drives me nuts, thanks for the encouragement though I do appreciate it!

Which toe is it BTW?

I had a little incident with my pinky toe the night before the Des New Marathon last July. Walking in the house in bare feet and accidentally kicked the door jam... now that was pain!

Oooo that does sound like major pain. Its the one next to my big toe, on the left foot. I can't push off, its painful.

So I talked to this lady today that broke her toe and runs as well. She had to take about 3 and a half weeks off and slowly work into it.
