So today I did the longest run I've yet done on pavement, 9.5 miles. I felt fine all the way through but about an hour after I got home I noticed the front of my right foot, 2nd toe hurting. This toe is a little longer than the big toe. I looked and found an area just under the front side of the 2nd toe worn away so that the skin had opened in a neat circular cut. There was no blister.
This has never happened before in several years of barefoot running, including trail runs of nearly this same length. I figure I must be doing something to that toe that drags it across the pavement... but what is it? Am I dragging when I put the foot down? Any other ideas from your experience?
I suppose I should get the video camera out..
