Runner's Toe

Just wanted to share this! I have runner's toe. I went to have a pedicure a few weeks ago and my big toenail was black. I didn't think much about it and it doesn't hurt. Tonight I was reading another running blog and I discovered it comes from running! How great is that :)

Happy New Year!

So I decided to start a blog about running! I have 2 goals for myself, running a marathon and shedding some weight.  I decided to sign up for a marathon back in April. It was the Marine Corp Marathon scheduled for Oct. Over the summer I was running up to 13 miles and developed an injury, costochondritis,  on August 1 due to a severe asthma attack.  I was unable to run for 7 weeks. So all the hard work was gone!!! I started back end of September and got up to 8 miles and in November I developed a kidney infection and then have been sick for the last 3 weeks with cold/respiratory infection. I have asthma which complicates everything.....so here I am starting all over AGAIN..  


I stared running again on Dec 28, 09  3 miles....more like walk/run. It was ugly but it felt great. 


Todays run was great 4 miles non stop, no walking!!  


My short term goals half marathon Feb 13, 2010 so the blog is to help me become accountable, kind of like a running diary :)


Until the next run!
