I have done something bad to my right foot. I don't know how.

Tuesday night, I went to see Neko Case play at Little Brothers.

automat76 and I walked down to Skully's for sustenance first, then saw the show (which was kickass as expected). Then we wandered back, with

yerpretty and a non-lj person in tow, and went to Press Grille. It was during this walk that I noticed my foot hurt, though I attributed it to standing too long, in shoes that I should have known were not comfy for standing (flat flat flat slip on Mary Janes).

After trucking on home, my right foot hurt. I had a hard time going up the stairs. I rubbed it, and fell asleep.

Yesterday morning, woke up and it was killing me. The weird thing is, it's fine when I'm not standing on it. I can rub my foot and push on it, and it feels completely normal, but when I'm walking, whenever I put my weight on my right foot, there's this odd muscular pain and aching from the ball of my foot clear up into my toe. It almost feels, odd as this sounds, as if a tendon is not where it should be. Is that even possible?

I wasn't even wearing stupid tall shoes when I did this. They were flats!! I haven't worn heels in over a week!

Standing can be especially hard on your feet and legs. There's shoes designed just for folks who stand a lot, like nurses and doctors--Danskos! Mind you, Danskos are now also fashionable and have some very cute styles. :) None of which helps your feet NOW, except to say that, yes, standing in crappy shoes really can screw up your feet. :(

I heart the Dansko. And I almost wore them the other night, but I thought they'd be too hot (I have the clogs with the high back.

It's weird though, because I've taken umpteen billion yoga classes about keeping balanced on your feet, and I'm especially careful to do this because I have nearly zero natural arch. But yet I still manage to do this. Yet another reason for me to get my butt back to yoga class!!
