Their like balloons, okay not that bad

Taking the day off. Last night I noticed that my feet, mainly my right foot, were swollen. This concerned me. At first I thought it was in reaction to the abrasion on my toe from this morning (infection would not be good), so I put a new band aid on with some triple antibacterial creme. The toe feels fine, so I don't think it is infected. So why the swelling? I did a little research and found others that have had swelling after running (shod or unshod, doesn't make a difference), so kicked them up and got some rest.

Today they are still swollen, feel tight in my shoes. I'll do some more reading, soak and ice them tonight. 

We'll see, I want to get out for a good run in the morning so here's to hoping. I'll update this post if I find out more about swelling.

Okay, after reviewing my day yesterday I remembered that I took Zyrtec for my allergies for the first time. A little searching and there it is, one of the rare side effects of Zyrtec are swollen feet and lower legs. Well, time to ditch the Zyrtec and take it easy as the swelling subsides.
