A few months back everyone may remember having a laugh at my wife's expense due to her broken foot. Well, Earl warned me about karma and I didn't listen.
July is parents get free classes month at Ashli's Tae Kwon Do(TKD) school. So I partook of the offer, not being able to resist the word free. Class was going great until we got to crecent kicks. *Crecent Kick- Sweeping the leg up in an arch like motion and striking with the outside of the foot.* We were working on bringing it almost straight up and then snapping it over. to reduce the swing motion of the leg the instructor held a second paddle up as a visual reference of how far was too far. I did great with my right leg, but with my left I nailed the paddle dead on. Not the soft side but the edge. I hit it just as I was snapping my foot and my foot was still relaxed. I kicked hard enough that I kicked through the paddle and actually hit my intended target. It hurt pretty bad but I continued on.
The foot continued to hurt when I got home and I put some ice on it. I woke up the next moring with a bruise across the top part of my foot and my toes. I couldn't really walk on it. As the day went on everything loosened up and I was able to participate in the next class. This of course aggrevated the injury.
The bruising is now gone, but the top of my foot still hurts if I move it a certain way. It is possible that I broke something but I don't think I will ever know.
Good one Karma.
*EDIT*
Here is a picture of the bruising
