11.9K done! Black toe award...

[PurpleWizardry]

My fastest 10K at 7.47 per K.  Endurance wins! Have a black toe now, mind, despite new trainers! Now looking out for toe spacers / protectors for my poor (middle) toe.  It's not the shoe bashing the toes, it's my second toe squashing my third! Tips gratefully received

Have a look at these - amazon.co.uk/Protector-Tube...

If not just do a search on Amazon or Google , hope this helps

You can also get clear plastic ones that don't slip.

My podiatrist recommended them to me to help keep my recurring corn at bay.

Also really well done on the run! That's awsome. ☺

Thanks Rob & Noaky. I think my second toe rubs the third toe so looking into separators as well

Brilliant, well done you, and  that's tough for your toes. When I was 12 I had my toes straightened as it bent under the other one and was constantly blistered 😢 I hope the spacers help....

Black toenails just seem to happen.  Part of being a runner!

Well done. Get some dark nail polish (I like red) - no-one will ever know....

Oh i don't mind the black nail so much as the painful toe rubbing!

Black toes, that something to be proud of. its like a bit of bling from a race show it off with pride.   Nothing says i am a runner more then a black toe nails. 

Unfortunately i am not allowed to show my black toes off, but i encourage anyone else to do so.

I don't seem to get black toe nails, but just normal blister under the nail bed. Very annoying
