Hi,
Little background story.
I exercise everynight with a friend. We run, do pushups and crunches, then play soccer down at the local university (University of Oregon).
So tonight we run 3 miles, do our pushups and crunches, then head over to the soccer field. This is a artificial turf because the sprinklers run durning the night on the grass ones. Plus the artificial one has the best night time lighting (we always run at night because we both work till about 10:00 at night). Anyway, on Monday there are a bunch of Mexicans playing. We have just been playing off to the side, but last week I noticed one that I knew from high school soccer so I asked if we could play. They said sure. It is good playing with them (even though we don't understand a word
), as they are skilled and it is better playing in a team environment.
Anyway, I generlly take off my shoes. This being an artificial turf, it scrapes them up. But it doesn't generally do too much damage. But tonight we got done with running earlier than normal so got to the soccer field earlier than normal. Thus, I was running much longer than I usually do on the field. This resulted in huge blisters on the bottom of my feet, which then broke and scraped off some of the skin (I finally stopped playing when this happened. Probably should have at first sign of blisters but I was having too much fun and the pain wasn't too bad at first).
Now it hurts to walk on it (duh). I bought some large type bandages from Safeway on the way home. Should I just apply them or should I wash, then apply? What about peroxide? Should I cut off the skin that is seperated from the foot but still attached, or leave it?
I wish to heal as fast as possible so I can continue my training.
Thanks for any help.
P.S. On a brighter note, I played really good soccer tonight. I think the Mexicans were suprised. At one point I dribbled through four of them, right up the middle, and hit a curve shot for a goal. I was quite pleased with myself
