Out barefooted checking my drain pipes and I slightly kicked the corner of a piece of corrugated sheet metal skirting which is laying on the ground so as to access under the trailer. Sliced the ball of my foot open slightly but significantly. I cleaned it with iodine and filled the bleeding wound with iodine.

Tomorrow is a rest day, then run Tues, Thursday and 5K on Saturday.  Aye aye aye man, not good. Sucker better heal fast.

Ouch! Do you think you might need a tetanus injection? Let's hope it all heals ok for your next run. Keep us posted. Oh, and well done for the run.

Go easy on that iodine!

Wow the things some people do to avoid running !  Seriously, I hope it's not too sore.  Sounds like you've got a pretty good regime sorted out for yourself.  Slowly but surely is the way forward.

Thanks poppypug - I walked two miles on it yesterday - gently - I'll have to stay off till Saturday - (I am not missing the 5K - no way) - Then I will be on a trip for a month to Alabama. I hope to be healed enough to resume training during the trip.
