Hello! How are you? I’m pretty good because I got a NEW pair of running shoes from Newton!! New running shoes are the best best best. Am I right?
I ran an easy 6 miler because I have a race this weekend. It’s a very very last minute thing that I got talked into by the artist formerly known as SkinnyRunner. I think she just wants to hang out so I can return that deodorant I borrowed from her last year. Typical.
I’m headed to see her tomorrow but it’s TBD if she picks me up from the airport because now we’re fighting. It all started innocently enough with the usual race and running talk, but then it got ugly.
Any guesses on what I sent that made her disown me?
Scroll for the picture…
This is what I text her:
Oh, it’s just the usual girly kinda fight about how I totally grossed her out that I text her a pic of my toenail falling off. That is the kind of quality stuff you can expect when we’re friends (note to self: don’t give Monican your number).
Context of the situation: None. I just thought I’d send it out of nowhere.
So, if you’re on the fence about whether or not you LOVE or HATE running that picture might have pushed you over to the dislike side since it’s the worst.
It’s gorgeous outside so I took this party outside on the patio this afternoon. So nice!!! All I need now is a cocktail and marquee hire Melbourne then I’ll be set. If you want to create a beautiful outdoor space like this, learn this here now!

9. I have 9 toenails. I wacked my baby toe over the summer and it took a long time for the thing to fall off and it never grew back. yuck.

I always find it interesting when folks talk about losing toe nails from running. I’ve run for almost 20 years and have never lost a toe nail. I have trained for all kinds of races, 5K to marathon, spartan races, etc and never lost a nail.
I equate losing toe nails with having shoes that are too short so your toe hits the front of the shoe most of the time, especially when going down hill.

I have all 10 toe nails, I’ve never lost any while running. Kicking a metal bed frame at the age of 10 and wanting to swear my head off but could not did cause a nail to fall out. While running this nail always aches, toe nails are weird!!

Sitting at 8…still cant get a discount during a pedi though 🙁

I saw that shirt a couple months ago and loved it! I lost a toenail during soccer one time and it totally freaked me out.
Laura Bender says
I’ve never lost a toenail (knock on wood)- but seriously?! She de-friended you over that?!
I’m sure a lot of others commented like me, but she doesn’t seem to a very good friend to begin with. If my friend sent me that I would be grossed out, laugh and ask her if she was ok. I guess she is above all that. Her loss I guess!
Corrinne says
Ugh I have never lost a toe nail. But my husband loses at least on a year and always texts a picture of it to my niece to gross her out. He’s even threatened to mail her the mail. So nasty!
Rachael @ Catch Me if You Can says
oh man i was not prepared for that toenail pic…i knew it was an appendage…jossie grossie! i still have all 10 toenails but 2 are getting ready to jump ship i think.
Suzy says
I’ve lost a toenail and my toenail grew back funky and has never been the same! I texted a picture of my infected tonsils to my sister once and she got really mad at me and told me I am supposed to warn her first before I just send the photo. Oopsie doodles!
Kathy says
I cannot believe your toe isn’t bleeding or doesn’t look all that bad for losing its nail!!! OUCH! Mine would be swollen, red, and probably bloody ~ which would make for an even better picture maybe???!!! 😉
Have fun this weekend!!
Janice says
9 1/2!!!
Sue says
Oh which race are you two running this weekend?
Sally @ sweat out the small stuff says
I still have all my toenails!
Marissa @ Run Riss Run says
I’ve never lost a toenail! And where did you find your Cali necklace?! (LOVE!)
Jessica MD says
Only have 8 right now! The WDW marathon robbed me of the 2nd toenail on the left and the 3rd toenail on the right! Thankfully it’s been a painless ordeal!
Michelle @ Run4Life says
10… although two just growing back, so definitely deformed! Wonder if I’ll ever get a pedicure without having to explain my battle scars…
AdjustedReality says
10! Although one’s a little… erm… uniquely shaped.
