My first bruised toenail!

On that path to "officially" becoming a runner, one hears many stories about losing toenails.  I never thought I'd run far enough to have to worry about that - but, surprise surprise, I caught the racing bug and just can't stop!  Last week's half marathon gave me my first black and blue piggy, and I wouldn't be too surprised if it gives up in another day or two and falls.

Lovely, innit?

I can't believe years of having cleats dug into my toes during soccer games didn't knock a nail off sooner...
