This Little Piggy



This little piggy ran tempo
This little piggy climbed hills
This little piggy ran marathon pace
This little piggy ran LSDs
This little piggy lost a toenail
and cried, "ow, ow, ow" all the way home!


I guess it was inevitable.  I've run over 500 miles since the first of the year.  Something had to give.  The toenail on my left middle toe appears to be the victim.  I'll spare you any pictures, it's not a pretty sight.  For now, it's still there, but I know from experience it's going to come off.  If I can just keep the other nine for the next 20 days I'll be happy.

    Ouch! Poor piggy...

    I saw this article on Runners World. Maybe you've seen it too.

    Thanks for the article. I hadn't seen it before. Unfortunately they didn't give any tips for my middle toe :(
