I got a bunch of them back during my running days/years. Most were okay enough to get back on the roads again in one to tour days. A number took a week or two. But one kept me from running for 9 months. I was doing some training at a conference at a golf course facility in Arizona, went for a run in the morning and they had been running the sprinklers on the course. It left some puddles - muddy puddles - along the way,. Ran through one and there was a round rock - perhaps an inch in diameter - hidden in the muddy puddle. Got it square on.
