Hi all I haven't posted for a while, just been watching what you have all been up to and feeling lazy and guilty. over the summer I did not stick to my runs so bad I know I am ashamed of myself I only rang maybe once a week and then nothing for a couple of weeks and the last time I ran was about a month ago and I struggled ran 10 mins then walked then ran. I has decided that I would go back to week 5 on c25k and start there 3 times a week (I graduated last December) however I caught my little toe on a chest of drawers last Friday woke Sat morning to a swollen and bruised foot went to A&E of course it had to be broke I really feel bad as I was determined to get out there again and feel so guilty reading all your posts does anyone have any idea how long I need to leave it swelling has gone just slight bruising and pain not to bad only at times it can be a little sore. please encourage me to get off my backside and not let the excuse of a little toe keep me on the couch any longer than I need to..xx

I have broken my little toe. so many times... if it is not swollen... just buddy it up with the next toe and run
The last time was in France... read this..it may make you giggle... I am sure you will be fine if you take a gentle jogette..if it does hurt, then you can stop
I think try it if you can run without painkillers and it doesn't hurt. If running makes it worse then you probably need to give it longer.

I have to buddy up my claw toe every run, it can still hurt but doesn't stop me running (though Lord knows, a thousand other things can!!!)
As Oldfloss says if it hurts, you can stop. My toe usually complains for the first 5 minutes and then shuts up)
Plus, your toe is going to heal up!!!!
