I did not run all of last week. The weather has not been great but the real reason is I just didnot feel like it. My sister kept reminding and I kept making excuses.
This week the weather has been even worse with rain, flooding, wind, a weather warning for almost the whole country. Day before yesyerday, after working till late and exhausted, I stepped out of the office in darkness, rain, cold & super winds (again) and decided (again) not to go for run. By the time I reached home, I had scolded myself for making excuses and prepared myself to go for atleast a walk as my sister has registered us for a upcoming running event next month.
I put my old walking shoes on, rain jacket and stepped out in rain and wind. After about 5k brisk walking, started running to make it home quicker as it was a bit of less busy road. A 5k run and came home wet and cold, had stepped into many puddles as I could not see them in the dark. Yesterday, was even worse weather (if thats possible) and I decided to still push myself out of the door for atleast a short walk. Came back from the walk, showered, had dinner and off to bed. I could not sleep though, there was a burning sensation, like a carpet burn on the outside of the left foot, on top of the foot, on the pinky toe of the right foot. It was bad enough to keep me awake. So, I put some moistutiser on those areas. Today whole day I have experienced that burning feeling in same areas. The pinky toe is red but other areas look normal. I have run in rain before so dont think it is due to wet shoes.
Anyone else experienced this? Does anyone know what causes it and any precautions or remedies for it?
