This is the first missed run I've had so far, and I'm not missing it lightly. I've had an infected left thumb for the past couple of days, and last night, during the 6-mile run, the infection got markedly more painful. I've barely been able to get through today due to the pain, and in fact, the pain was so excruciating last night that I was unable to sleep; I'm going on literally an hour of sleep at the moment.
Running would be both detrimental to my health (I need to sleep as much as possible) and could possibly irritate my infection even more (although I'm not sure how that's possible, considering the amount of pain I'm in). I did go to my doctor today and she gave me antibiotics, so this ridiculousness should be gone by Saturday. However, just to play it safe, I think I'll do my long run on Sunday this week to give myself plenty of time to recuperate. All right, see you guys in several days, hopefully in a lot less pain than I am now!
