Broken Toe derails Virutal Run to Canada

I tripped and stumbled and almost fell on a 3 mile run last Sunday.  I didn't think much of it at the time.   A couple of days later  my big toe began to ache and so I figured I'd just take a couple of days off and then lace up the shoes and get out there to finish my virtual run to Canada......Well now it is Sunday morning and as of last night I could barely sleep my stupid toe hurt so much.   The virtual run will have to be put on hold until it heals.  I'm currently hobbling around the house on the side of my foot and I don't want to shamble to Canada like some extra on the Walking Dead so He Fat Virtual Fit club is on hold because of one stupid like toe.
