Another foot post-sorry!

[turnturtle]

Sorry about the grotty varnish remains too-I promise that will come off tonight. This is just to demonstrate my lovely daughter in law's strapping, which together with ibuprofen, enabled me to run a comfortable 10.5K today and keep on track for Berlin! #nopainnogain #itsonlyatoe #worsethingshappenatsea

Great attitude TT😊😆

#Yorkshire grit!

[Sandraj39 Half Marathon]

Wow! That's dedication for you! Fantastic!👍

[poppypug Marathon]

Wow a 10.5k with a poorly toe !

Go you !

Well done TT, you cant keep a good woman down ! xxx

[AncientMum Half Marathon]

Well done IronMum, that looks much better than it did before IronDaughter-in-Law got her mitts on it. Great run m'dear, look out Berlin TTs on her way 😀😀

[ancientrunner Half Marathon]

Good on you - that bruising looks as if it has spread!!!

[turnturtle Marathon in reply to ancientrunner]

It did. So much so that they had to ask me which toe had been injured! Slowly starting to fade now though.

[marco83 Marathon]

well done with your dedication!!!

Have you looked at your socks? last time I had a foot injury I thought I was wearing wrong shoes, but it turned out the socks were causing damage...

[turnturtle Marathon in reply to marco83]

No doubt about the cause of my injury marco! It was stubbing my bare foot at full speed into a marble step!

[marco83 Marathon]

Sorry I did read the previous parts of the story after posting my response... my bad... i was out for a few days and lost touch with the blog...

hope you recover well and it is not too painful... and congratulation again for your dedication in the training

have a nice day

[turnturtle Marathon in reply to marco83]

No problem Marco. Thanks for the good wishes. If my socks had done this to me I think I might give up running

[marco83 Marathon in reply to turnturtle]

You are right, looking better at the pictures I can see the very nasty bruise... but I did have a pretty bad-looking injury caused by shoes and sock in preparation for a marathon a year ago with bruise and all the rest (couple of finer nails gone as well), not as bad as yours, but at a first sight on my bad monitor ...

have a good day

[boptillyoudrop49]

Jeepers! Don't think I'd be running on that but I'm a wuss. Well done you!

[turnturtle Marathon]

Little toe is actually fractured-hence the bruising- but it has been taped to its buddy and is now pretty numb.

[misswobble Marathon]

Best of luck with it TT☺ These things are sent to try us aren't they 😣 Bl**dy typical innit!

I hope the strapping does its job and it will all be healed up nicely before Berlin. Get scoffing vit B-rich foods 😊

[Eatcakeandrun Marathon]

Sorry to hear your toe-woes! Is your DIL a podiatrist?! Great strapping!

Hope it gets better soon!

[turnturtle Marathon in reply to Eatcakeandrun]

Ooh, I will pass on the compliment! Yes, she is in her final year of training in podiatry and I suspect I will be calling on her quite a lot in years to come! She restraps the offending digit tomorrow. I'm not even lame at trot since she did this. Can't thank her enough. And the only payment she would take was a dozen eggs!
