My toes have been fine all spring and summer. I trained for and raced IM NO 70.3 in April, did a bunch of sprint and oly triathlons, raced two 10 mile races, and all was well. But after a simple track workout 2 weeks ago where part of the track was covered in frost (and therefore a little slippery), my toes started to “turn.” Maybe “ripen” is a good word for it.
I’ve learned I beat-up my toenails when running on slippery or uneven surfaces (like packed snow in the winter). So this morning, I thought I’d snap a new photo for you all:
Try not to notice all the toe-hair (if possible)
Yeah. Nasty. And that started from a simple 3x1600 track workout! Stupid toenails.
Oh, and the official results from the Tesfa 5K are now up (see previous post for race report). I was able to out-kick Nicole by 12 seconds:
We’ll see if I can do the same next year. It’s ON, Nicole!!! ;)
yeah, and she's older than you, too! you're in trouble.
ReplyDeleteWhat's up with the spiders on your feet?!
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure I would taunt her, that is one fast chica!!!
ReplyDeleteYou have the weird toes where the second one is longer than the big toe. HEHE
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the win, but I think you will have your work cut out for you next year!
Nothing wrong with a bossy second toe, NJ! I've heard that means all sorts of things...
ReplyDeleteHa Kelly! Thanks!... ;)
ReplyDeleteYour poor toes have really taken a beating over the past few seasons. Go ahead, just paint them all black. Or leave one or two polish free. I would love to see you at the local indoor pool like that and to see what people say about your feet then.
ReplyDeleteNow go shave those toes!
Better watch out for that No Name guy. He races a lot - I see him at all the big races.
ReplyDeleteI totally just lost a toenail the other night and thought of you! My nail had been purple after my half mary in September and then it was fine. Then, BAM! It just fell off!
ReplyDeleteHey, at least they match!
ReplyDeletewow, your toes are freakishly spaced apart form one another. How unusual...
ReplyDeleteSo nasty, they're DELICIOUS.
ReplyDeleteWhile you said not to, one has to notice....
While I admit I find them gross(ly beautiful), your going sockless would be like Lon Chaney going topless in The Werewolf (all made up, I mean, by Jack Pierce). Actually, come to think about it, YOUR going topless (as you are wont to, from time to time, don't we know it) would equal Lon at his most heirsute, WITHOUT Jack Pierce.
So if you ever get bored with teaching, there's a job waiting for you, on the midnight CREATURE FEATURE....
Just joking, of course. I like the toe hairs, and the others, too....
I am not alone....
Those are the skinniest toes I've ever laid eyes on. GIve those toes a sandwich!
ReplyDeleteWow your toes are like really spaced out. Are you doing that on purpose?
ReplyDeleteAttractive feet, and having all 10 toenails for that matter, is totally overrated :)
ReplyDeleteI think when you win Best Blog again this year, they should send you a pair of toe-nail clippers instead of Sunglasses. :)
ReplyDeleteI have problems with the same toes, the toe box on my shoe is plenty big, so I've wondered if I lift my toes up when I run and put pressure on them. It hurts like a mother! I've lost the toenails a few times, always when I get up into higher mileage.
ReplyDeleteYou are a hobbit... who knew?
ReplyDelete=;-)
Why do your toe nails even bother growing back?
ReplyDeleteAlso, that is freakishly long foot hair.
Ok, besides the fact that you have lots of toe hair, I'm taken back by how spaced out your toes are and how long they are. Crazy. Thanks for sharing I think.
