been off the bike and out of the lap pool for a few weeks due to vacationing but I have been racking up some running miles. it's been great but a couple days I ago I had some discomfort but ran anyway. so now I have a decent case of Sesamoiditis. the big knuckle below the big toe on my left foot is red; swollen and very tender.

after some research I've determined that it is not broken and should recover well with just rest. I thought I would share this info about this sport injury in case anyone else find themselves with a similar situation.
