subject: toenail – to be or not to be
pull it off !!! – you don’t want no toenail floating around inside your shoe during an ultra – and also you can mail it to me for inclusion in my toenail necklace that I’m workin on – I’ll e-mail you off-list with my address – needle-nose pliers work really well at removing recalcitrant hanging toenails – go to http://www.stlouisultrarunnersgroup.net and click on photos – that ones being removed a month or so after Badwater 02 – Jan

i’m still around…
that’s pretty YIKES. i think i got the ugliest feet now, with 5 lost toenails, some half regrown ones and my skin is coming off like Hannibal Lector was here!!!!!! thank goodness it’s winter;-)
So I gather you didn’t send him your toenail. 🙂 Its one thing for runners to be obsessive about their own toenails. It’s a whole ‘nuther thing to be obsessive about other people’s nails! I say …ewwww!
So… just a thought, maybe you should look into why you are losing toenails and try to fix that. Run Good!
