these days i tape my left toe when i run. saturday morning i could not find my good tape. so i reluctantly turned to the only other athletic tape i had in the house - a gooey, sticky tape that i hate. and it hates me back. it started slipping about an hour into my run, with the toe-anchor bunching at the base of my toe. i kept running on it, thinking it might correct itself, but after another half an hour, a buddy and i ran up ahead so that i could rip off my tape. and underneath, i found this:

owie. gross.
once i relieved my foot of its demise, it was happier for the rest of the run.

yummy! i love running feet! the gnarlier and nastier the better :)
and i love your new header pic...so fitting!
i had a student with the first name "lyman" i think it was her mother's maiden name.
anyway, love the toe! i usually just tape the toes with athletic tape... none of that second skin or moleskin crap. white athletic tape works best for me. speedy recovery big toe!
oh that looks so painful.
what tape do you normally use? i may try that.
woah. you guys are so hard core. i whine at blisters from stilettos and pointy work shoes.
p.s. your polish looks fab
Egads!
yikes! all the more reason why I try not to excercise.
owwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!! that looks so painful!
i'm with les on this one, i've gotten blisters like that from work shoes and man, they HURT. i can only imagine what i would do to my feet if i trained like you! i am in envy of your dedication.
