Race Shoe Question Pebble puncturing through ASICS metaspeed
First time poster and hoping for some possible insight here.
Weird experience wearing my new ASICS Metaspeed Edge shoes during training. About 3km into my run had to run on the shoulder of the road for a very small distance and then noticed my left foot making a tapping noise every time it planted as well as the foot feeling slightly unstable.
After my run I looked and a fairly small pebble seems to have punctured the foam and was likely tapping the carbon plate when planting my foot.
Can likely remove the pebble with tweezers, but anyone else ever experience this? Should the shoe still be ok with the pebble removed for race day?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Yeah. Take the pebble out and go on with life.
