Lipstick on my Piggies
I don't like feet. I don't have a really good reason, they've just never been my favorite body part. They're clammy and weird-looking and usually unattractive.
One of the not-so-pleasant side effects of running long distances is the punishment that 4 hours of pounding pavement gives your feet. I hear horror stories all the time about discolored toes and missing toenails. Thankfully, I've been able to avoid the grossest of the foot issues, getting off lightly with a few callouses and rough spots. Until now. I'm 99% sure that I'm about to be down one toenail thanks to yesterday's superb finish. I think it's an even trade.
I keep my toes camouflaged with dark polish, but I think it's a losing battle. Oh well.
Full recap still to come. Not in three parts this time.

How long for the toenails to grow back?
ReplyDeleteI heard that putting Vaseline between your toes before the race is good method of reducing the rubbing.
