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

Making very slow progress; still not fully back from the bad cold I had. I did cut my original goal (was not able to run for 2 weeks!!!), so I think I can make this one.

@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
