Another comfortable run this morning - and another bloodied sock! Not sure what's going on with my toes as I still can't see anything wrong and they're not sore. If it happens again tomorrow I might have to invest in something to separate and protect them and see if that helps.

Well done for sticking with it when you were feeling stiff Becky

Nice running red

Should we give Miss Marples a call, Simply?

Sounds like an intriguing mystery..........................

I quite like mascott's theory that I trod on a Yorkshire Terrier :rotfl: I promise I won't bore you all every day with my Bloody Toe Tales.

Have you counted them lately? You havent carelessly lost one or two have you...?;)

Simplycynical

Ha, now that's a thought. How much do they weigh? I might run a few seconds faster if I was a toe or two lighter!!

I wonder if its the skin between the toes or at the edge of the nail - its most likely the tiniest cut - but obviously there is a lot of blood pumping around when you are running so it usually bleeds a lot...

Dont chop anything off just yet - you're better off getting racing shoes if you're that desperate

Simplycynical

But I had my money saving hat on Becky The best way to speed up would be to stop feeding my face and lose a bit of weight ............. that's not going to happen anytime soon :rotfl:

No dieting while in marathon training Simply!! As you know one needs the fuel - as long as you arent putting on weight and inches (remember weight on alone is okay) then you are doing the right things

Had a great run last night with the club :T

It was basically running round the block but one side was a very steep hill and we had to do the loop once then rest, twice then rest and then 3 times followed by a rest. Then back to twice, then once and a good stretch out.
I really pushed it and felt great, It took some focus to get up the steep bit but once I got to the top and onto the 'recovery section' across and back down I recovered quickly.
