HOLY PAIN



I split the bottom of my big toe this evening during karate, tearing through a callus and peeling back a nice chunk of meat. I borrowed some sports tape from a fellow student, put stuff back together, and got back out on the dojo floor. I earned my white stripe (kumite)! Now that I'm home, my calves are cramping so I'm rolling out the lactic acid. It's a night of "holy pain," but I wouldn't trade it for anything else. (Except for the pumpkin pie and pumpkin beer I'm indulging in.)
