Need to carry tweezers on my runs
I guess I need to start carrying tweezers. Up till now I have avoided impaled objects that weren’t easy to remove. Last night I set out on a 6 mile run and at about 1.5 miles felt something in my foot stinging. I looked and saw a little area of blood but could not feel anything. I continued to run a bit and realized something was in there. I tried to get at it but was unable and turned around running on the balls of my feet only. I found some grass and sat down. I was able to finally dig it out and it was not much bigger than a grain of sand but was a shiny piece of glass.
It was a bummer cause I ended cutting a 6 mile run short by 1.5 miles. When I got home I went to the Gym to meet the wife and do some upper body workouts and kicked butt for an hour and then to top it all off I ran on a treadmill for another 2.5 miles at a 6.5 minute pace. It Hurt like hell and I loved it. I had already completed 250 Ab reps that morning so it ended up being a killer workout day.
Tweezers, that is what this started about huh? I need some tweezers to carry with me.

That is so crazy! I cannot imagine what that would be life – nothing like this has ever happened to me on a run.
If I carried tweezers with me on a run, I’d probably bring a mirror, too, and take a rest break so I could pluck away.
