Toenails

0 miles - So i'm having a bit of trouble with the toes. Any of you that have run long distances, done Hood to Coast in Portland and had a downhill leg, or trained for a running event, can probably feel my pain... literally! After my long run on Sunday, I now have about 3 toenails that are about ready to bite the dust. Not a good way for a girl to enter the spring/summer flip flop season. ah! I dread painting faux toenails on my feet so that I can wear sandals with pride. You've all seen feet with the faux toenail and let's face it, it's never good. So, even though it was way nice out today, I mean upper 70's... I think I brought Tucson home with me! I didn't run in an effort to take off the bandaids for a day and let the feet breath. 1 blood blister and two regular blisters later, my toes aren't exactly throbbing anymore (thank goodness I work from home in slippers!) so I'm gearing up for a group run on Wed night. Hopefully the bandaids will at least contain the bleeding. ew. Seriously... gross. Here's a pic of the newly painted, cut, bandaided, trimmed toes. Poor things. I did a pretty good job, I wouldn't dare show you the before pic's. They are looking a bit swollen like Flintstone feet right now but hey... they get the job done! :)
