After 4 months of a tendon injury around the ankle that is slowly healing I have found another problem that others may have experienced. I have been running to get back into shape again and the ankle is 90% ok but it must have subtly altered my running style and I have developed a callus on the outside of my left foot, near the small toe (the injured ankle is on the right). I also have a callus on my right big toe, this was caused because the tendon injury meant I couldn't control the toe landing. It is quite frustrating as following on I have now rubbed up blisters. Barefoot running is so much more finely tuned than running in shoes, everything has to be perfect.
I was hoping to run in a race tomorrow but I think I'll pull the plug on that one, it was a 16km over rough stony ground and I think I would only cause myself more problems.
Maybe a nice easy beach run is called for ;-)
