The first time I saw these, I thought they were plantar warts but they're not, they're tumors that grow inside on the plantar fascia and they simply look like the beginning of a wart.

I had the same problem a couple of years ago, used duct tape for a while, and eventually the problem lessened such that I didn't notice them. Two weekends ago, I drove to TN and fenced three events and then last week, I drove 3 hrs. north to fence two events.

If I succeed in finishing in the top 4 at Cincinnati, I'll give myself a week off to rest them. Otherwise, they can turn into bloody stumps and I'll still be training hard until the season ends (one way or another).
