Pro tip : if it feels like you are stepping on a nail every time you take a step, perhaps there is something stuck in your foot.  No scale in the pic, but it’s about an inch long.  It’s called a foxtail.  Wikipedia mentions that it can be a “nuisance” to people.  Nice.

Needless to say, it feels better already. Maybe now it will start to heal.  20s here I come.  I say that, but we’ll see.  Tomorrow is a 10,800 foot mountain.  Maybe a half day is a better goal.
