Exercise with an injured foot


Mikey switched it up today and had us do Tuesday’s workout on a Monday. Imagine the horror!! He said he was trying to shake our bodies up –but between us, I think he forgot what day it was and set up for the Tuesday workout. We will never know!

The pic to the left is my foot after a cooking mishap yesterday. I was busying talking, turned to resume something at my kitchen counter and some kitchen shears stabbed me in the foot. Yeah it hurt but as I was jumping up and down saying Ow Ow Ow, I failed to notice the blood spurting around.  The shears punctured my foot and although once we applied pressure to the foot, it did stop bleeding but it hurts and it’s all bruised.  I must have hit a vein that was close to the skin. One of the great things about boot camp though is we have women from all careers and sure enough we have a nurse — Jen P looked at it and said make sure I have an up to date Tetnus, use neosporin and watch it for infection.

Here’s a pic of Jen P — She looks like a model doesn’t she!? She’s one of the many amazing ladies I get to hang with every morning — you should see her workout – Strong and fast! Inspiring ———— It’s always fun to see the ladies outside of working out too. All gussied up and dressed instead of dressed to workout.

Anyways — The puncture wound did indeed affect my workout and halfway thru the first 800 m run my foot began to throb and hurt so I stopped after the 400 round and went thru the rest of the workout with some modifications so I didn’t have to flex my foot. It’s always something. Just when my body wasn’t hurting and I was re-ignited with working out, something happens. It’s life and I will deal like I always do. It wouldn’t be Stephanie without some sort of physical mishap.

  1. Owwwwwwwwwwww! Sorry to hear/see that.

    Nothing worse than trying to run with a hurt foot.

    Very similar story here… just when I thought I was O.K. and not hurting anywhere….. stress fracture. But I am better now!

    Thanks! Enjoy your blog!
