Hamline Invitational
It has been a rough last few days...
It all started on Wednesday when I put on my shoe for my morning run and noticed that my smallest pinky toe didn't really "fit" inside the shoe. I took a look at my toe and it had swollen to about the size of my thumb. I didn't really know what to think of it, so I tried running on it Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. I had to change my running posture to cope with the pain, but it didn't work very well. I woke up today to get ready for the meet, and my toe was still red and swollen. Our university trainer thinks it might be hammer toe or infected, but either way I will have to get examined by a doctor soon. My guess is that the mileage I have been doing lately has just irritated it, and that the swelling will go down once I rest. (I know a pinky toe injury doesn't sound horrible, so doubt me if you must)
I didn't end up running at the Hamline Invitational, so my parents weren't able to see me run which was really hard for me. I was also looking forward to seeing how my hard work would pay off, but that didn't happen either. I would like to list the other if/and/buts...but it really isn't worth it. I am a firm believer that everything happens for a reason, so I am trying to find the good in a seemingly horrible weekend.
On a bright note, three Concordia Track and Field Records were broken. Adam Lemay smashed the pole vault record, Katie Johnson dominated the 400m, and Kaysee Nesmoe launched the disc further than anyone in Concordia's history. There were some other good performances, and hopefully some of those times and distances will help people get a higher place in the Mt. SAC Relay's accepted list. A few members, including myself, are on the fence for that meet, so hopefully things will work out in our favor.
In any case, I imagine the next few days will consist of some major icing sessions, along with some work on a stationary bike. At least its warm out though, and with any luck, I'll be able to enjoy that warmth on the track sometime next week.
I hope you all performed well this weekend. God Bless.
