Bad Timing

Yesterday, as I was walking through Costco, I guess I took a corner too short and clipped my pinkie toe on a wooden pallet. It hurt so bad, B and C were not with me and I didn't know anyone so I just had to swallow it rather than go off in a cussing rampage:) I hobbled around and finished my shopping but it was burning. I have broken 3 toes in my life and was pretty sure this was a break too. I had some prewrap in the car so I splinted I immediately and headed home. Brad made me ice it before bed and it was already turning black & blue. I went to seethe trainer today because I knew she would look at from a trainer/athlete perspective rather than a doc who are often times too conservative on he healing times of things. She unwrapped it, manipulated it a bit, and told me to take it easy for 48 hours and see where we are. She thinks its either a fracture in the knuckle between the phalange and metatarsal or its a tear in the soft tissue between he 4th and 5th phalanges. I am hoping for the latter bc of the shorter recovery time. Either way, I don't think I am racing on Saturday but that's ok. As long as I can continue my ultra training I will be happy. We shall see.
