    Also, I’m wondering if I’m going to lose my toenails because I have bruises on them

    Of its severe enough, yes

    *sigh* I JUST got a pedicure

    Did this come from your race ?

    Yeah, it was a 20 mile hike which was about 6 miles and about 2000 more feet of elevation than I was used to. I finished but it wasn’t pretty and now I have bruised toenails, a blister on the bottom of one foot, and a couple of weird chafing spots.

    eta: you didn’t ask but the whole thing didn’t give me the sense of accomplishment & euphoria I’d hoped for. I felt old & out of shape

    But it’s still badass that you did it! So congrats and I don’t think you’d lose your toenails from this. I’ll get the same thing on my pinky toe at times.

    Thank you ☺️

    You accomplished that view. Total win.

    And toenails grow back. Usually.

    😂

    that view is local to me and I know the cheat code to see it without doing 20 miles. However, this is the first time I’ve earned it.

    Thank you for the cautiously optimistic news about the toenails 😂❤️

    Are your hikers / running shoes a size big?? If not I would suggest as this could be why that happened - some dude at the running shoe store I went was a marathoner and suggested this - it stuck with me

    They are about a half size too big and I have funny shaped feet: very very wide forefoot and average size heel. So I either need to get custom shoes or learn some better lock lacing techniques. But honestly, the down hills on that long a hike are probably always going to kill me.

    I might look into some more upscale brands of trail shoes for shorter hikes because why not

    Is it on your fingers from when you prepped food earlier? That can be hard to get rid of. Ask me how I know.
