Does anyone have a go to treatment or work around for a sore toe? I have one that feels like I dropped something on it (didn't) and I didn't notice it hurting until well after my race last Sunday. I have tried moleskin and a band-aide and it is just sore. The nail is reddish (not purple or black) and it is my middle toe and not one I would usually have issue with.0

Mentally I was hoping to get maybe 12 miles today before my rest period coming up next week. I think that rest is definitely due because I was dog tired after 10 and pushed myself to get just shy of 11.

I've never had an issue with the nail on a middle toe, but in my experience when the nail is really sore & turns that reddish color it will turn black. I just keep running and wait for the new nail to grow. The good news is if that's what's wrong it won't hurt anymore after it's black. I don't know whether to hope that's all it is or not.Does anyone have a go to treatment or work around for a sore toe? I have one that feels like I dropped something on it (didn't) and I didn't notice it hurting until well after my race last Sunday. I have tried moleskin and a band-aide and it is just sore. The nail is reddish (not purple or black) and it is my middle toe and not one I would usually have issue with.
You've had a strong month and you're less than 7 miles from goal. Enjoy your rest- You've earned it!grimmeanor wrote: »Mentally I was hoping to get maybe 12 miles today before my rest period coming up next week.

Does it feel kind of hot? If yes, it could be an inflammation. Sometimes that happens to me when the side of the toenail is somehow injured. In that case, I found that an antiseptic cream (I use one with Povidone/ iodine as the active ingredient) helps best.Does anyone have a go to treatment or work around for a sore toe? I have one that feels like I dropped something on it (didn't) and I didn't notice it hurting until well after my race last Sunday. I have tried moleskin and a band-aide and it is just sore. The nail is reddish (not purple or black) and it is my middle toe and not one I would usually have issue with.
I've never had any other problems with toes, but I've also heard about the black nail thing fabnine mentioned.
In any case, I hope it get's better soon!0 -
Today we had the first real snow this winter! I'll probably be annoyed by it on Monday on the way to work; but today I still think it's pretty. And I finally got the chance to test the icebug running shoes I bought a few weeks ago, and admire the funny footsteps they leave behind

@fabnine and @_nikkiwolf_ - Thanks for the info on the toe. I have had the issue with a nail turning black and eventually coming off. I had too small shoes for running initially and had it happen after my first half. This feels different and is a different toe but I did discover that there is a hard piece of something in my shoe above this toe so maybe it is hitting on it. I will try some antibiotic cream and see if it helps, it certainly can't hurt at this point! I have found I need to make sure my sock is pulled loose around it because it can make it really hurt otherwise!
_nikkiwolf_ - love the pictures!

1/1/2015: 3.94 miles outside
1/2/2015: 3.46 miles treadmill
1/3/2015: 1.95 miles outside, because I was too lazy to drive to the gym (?!)
1/4/2015: 4.34 miles treadmill, driving to the gym was terrifying (ask me about my POS car.)
1/5/2015: Rest (replaced car and dealt with insurance)
1/6/2015: Rest (still dealing with insurance - switching to new agency)
1/7/2015: 3.52 miles treadmill (and running around with old insurance agency, some more!)
1/9/2015: 4.21 miles treadmill
1/12/2015: 3.5 miles treadmill
1/14/2015: 6.99 miles treadmill (I did 2 Zombies, Run! missions, one with hills and one flat, and added the mileage when I got home, or that would be an even 7.)
1/16/2015: 3 treadmill and 3 treadmill - competing against my brother. I failed in the morning and went back to try again in the afternoon. Beat his time by 27 seconds.
1/19/2015: 1 mile on the treadmill in my brother's gym about 10 seconds slower than his. My lungs finally feel a bit better. That was the dustiest nasty treadmill I hope to ever use. There are ruts worn into the platform that made my run feel like I was running in an icy wheel rut. But the rock salt and dust was worse than the bumpy ride. Ugh.
1/20/2015: 3 miles
