Therein Lies the Rub

By Nicoleao @momfever

I wen running this morning.

But about halfway through my long run I got a message from the middle toe of my left foot. ‘I’m hurtin’!’
So I said: ‘I don’t care!’ and ran along. Because really, I can’t be bothered with such a little thing as an achy toe. But as it turned out, it really started to bother mé. It’s amazing how much a little toe can hurt. I started feeling like the little Mermaid after getting her legs.

When I got home, all sweaty, I quickly got out of my sticky clothes, and jumped into the shower. Still determined to ignore my now throbbing toe. Immediately I was struck by a vicious pain of the aforementioned toe. I took a look, and saw a big blister on the left side. Aparently two of my toes had been rubbing each other the wrong way.

And therein lay the rub.

Do you ever experience chafing, and if so, where?
