Question: Is my feet getting stronger or just!.!.!.!.!.weirder!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
Well I'm a runner so my feet are always in use!.
About 5 months ago I start doing these things call "foot drills", they are a series of drills that help stregthen my feet/ankles/shins!.!.!.etc to help prevent and reduce the chance of an injury!.

I've been injury free so far =]!.!.!.!.but my feet have these veins that are getting really big!. Like I never noticed them until 2 days ago and my feet have big veins!.!.!.I know that sounds weird!.

So my question is that does this mean my feet are getting stronger!?

I think it makes since that if your muscles are stronger they would have more veins to more blood and etc!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
The veins that you are noticing are your medial and lateral plantar veins!. These very large veins travel between the muscles of the sole of the foot and drain into the posterior tibial veins!. As you stated, the strengthening and buildup of your foot muscles will have an enlarging effect on these medial and lateral plantar veins!.

Here's a picture:

The dorsal venous arch (shown in the figure which to which the link above leads) is clearly visible underneath the skin!. It crosses the medial segment of the five metatarsals!. The convexity of this arch receives dorsal digital veins and interdigital veins, which connect, between the toes, the superficial dorsal and plantar venous plexuses (Braune's arcade), both situated at the base of the toes!. Interdigital perforating veins also anastomose in the concavity of the dorsal venous arch!.

The dorsal venous arch gives rise to two or three veins of the dorsum of the foot, which sometimes merge to join the long saphenous vein or to form an accessory saphenous vein!.
