Day #83

If a toe could have a heart attack, mine had one at about 3 a.m. this morning. I woke up to a stabbing pain in my...hmmm, what do you even call it? Ring toe? It was the toe next to the pinky toe of my right foot. It was pounding and pulsating so hard, that I broke into a cold sweat. Just one toe. Bizarre, huh? It didn't hurt when I went to bed, and it really didn't hurt when I woke up this morning. I even thought that I had possibly been bitten by a spider, but I seriously doubt that happened. There was no discoloration, swelling....nothing! I did feel a bit of discomfort when I slid my shoe on this morning. Just a slight twang, that said, "Hey...remember how much your toe hurt last night--go easy!"

So go easy I did. I walked to school this morning (15 minutes), and I didn't take an afternoon walk, instead taking a 9-mile bike ride on the C&O Canal. So....I'm not really sure how to characterize my exercise efforts. Technically, I had a wimpy walk day, but it wasn't because of laziness or making excuses.
