5 Mile Bike

Rode 5 miles in 30 minutes. Windy out. Still riding slow.

More thoughts on my toe. I actually now think it is a tendon problem. I could have either an inflamed or ruptured flexor tendon which runs under the toe. The end of the tendon would account for the bump. I noticed that I can't actively flex that toe( I can move it passively), which again might suggest the tendon is ruptured. I don't think it is that big of a deal and may even have been that way for awhile, and possibly my jumping up and down on my toes, bruised the end causing some pain. I'm still going to wait a little bit before trying to run. If I can run, I won't bother with a doctor, but if it continues to hurt -- it is less so now -- then I may seek a professional medical opinion.
