Just came across this post,
Just came across this post, and I just had to read. Time for everyone to know too much info! I used to have a bad habit, kind of weird but when I would get stressed or real worried, I would pick at my toenails, yeah I am NOT joking. Did it when I was younger, as a result I got some freakin ugly toes. Imagine being a barefoot runner embarassed to have people see how ugly his toes are! At least if I am moving I don't mind, they can't see. By the way, I mean rip them off! They never did grow back right, kind of like a calloused nail. Have had lots of problems with my big toes, especially when I run big miles with shoes. Would have to rip out ingrowns quite often. Good thing is running bf I have had very few problems. But I am still sporting some ugly toes, oh well it is what it is and I won't stop bf because of some ugly feet! There, now you all know too much. Jschwab, hope that yours comes back normal, maybe in the end we can have an "ugly toe contest", but I would be willing to bet I would win.
