    I have a mean blister on my big toe right now.

    also since everyone's talking about peeing, I can't be the only one that has to do number 2 as soon as I get back from a really long run.

    TMI, sorry.

    Now you're talking. That and missing toenails are a real problem. I had two last year from running in wet shoes. Then again it wasn't a big deal unless I was wearing flip-flops to the pool and people would get grossed out by it. LOL

    I've never lost a toenail.


    And I have to pee constantly, but that's just life for me, I guess. I need to pee right now, but I just went 10 minutes ago and I'm pretty sure my coworkers will think I'm weird if I go to the bathroom again.

    On a less gross note...when running in winter in the run I get chaffing under my armpit where my wet top/bra rubs. I don't notice it too much til after my run/when I get in the shower. It is red raw. ouchy!

    I've never lost a toenail either. Not sure if that means I'm not a real runner....or if I'm just smart enough to get shoes that fit.

    You try pushing two kids out of your groin and see whether you need the occasional potty break.

    Yes.

    I don't think it's a shoe fit issue. I have friends that get fitted at the same local shop that I do (so I know they're doing it right) and they've lost toenails. *shrug* I think it just happens to some people and not others.

    Wondering if you have enough time to drop a squat and pee before the next car comes along.
    How far are you running that you have to stop to pee?

    Every 2 or so miles as a matter of fact. Thank god I don't drink anything for about 4 hours before running or it would be more frequently.

    There are also ways to adjust the lacing to help get the pressure off the toes. I did have to go through several pairs of shoes before I found one with the right size toe box...if I had purchased one of the other pairs, I'm sure I'd be losing toenails left and right.

    The problem I have is when I'm running in the rain my feet get soaked and having all the room in the world doesn't help when your foot slides forward and hits the end of your shoe. Long runs around 16 miles in the rain caused both of my black toenails. They never actually came off. They just turned black and the nail looked much thicker than the others from the pressure of the broken blood vessels.

    Just lost a toenail myself. Not a shoe issue, it was an issue with my nail being too long when I did a long run.

    Oh and runner's trots. TMI I know but seriously. They drive me nuts.

    I'm not a real runner cause I have to pee just reading these, still have 10 toenails, never run the poo out of myself or had monkey butt!! I do turn red like I'm going in to a heat stroke though and people constantly ask me if I'm ok!! I admit, I do look rough afterwards!!
