<p>Good morning all. No running for me this weekend <img alt="" class="bbcode_smiley" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies//sad.gif" title=""> Never made the time (see fun thread). I was debating between a 5.5 mile loop and an 8 mile loop. May try and get something in later.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I went to a podiatrist this AM about my toe. Looked at it, felt it, bent it back and forth (OUCH - that is why I was there - it hurts). So he thinks there was some "trauma" to my foot - not the broken toe form August, because this bump on my foot has been there long before that, and was hurting before that, just not as much as it is now. Anyway, it feels soft, he figures there is a fluid sac or cyst in there. Takes a few xrays, comes back in with them, and says he has no idea what it is. It is not fluid - there is a bone\cartilidge\connective tissue thing in there. I need an MRI to figure out, and see what to do about it. So, I am now waiting on insurance to pre-approve the MRI. </p>

<p>He did say that it is not a stress fracture or anything like that, and as long as it was not causing me pain, that I could keep running.</p>
