No....not Chris....shoes.:) Running shoes to be specific. My old faithfuls that I started running in last year decided to turn against me this year during training for my half.
This what my shoes did to my toes. Nice black and blue color...very pretty.
I really didn't want to have to get new shoes this far into my training. I was only about 4 weeks out from half and I knew I would have to break in the shoes. But after reading some about the damage shoes that don't fit can do to your toes...I decided to just go and get new ones. The first pair I bought I ended up taking back. After I got them home and ran 4 miles in them I just knew that were gonna work. I went back the following weekend and tried a 2nd pair and they have been great. Much easier to run in now that I am not in pain...well at least toe pain.
I have two more weeks until my half, so I am hoping my toes will hold out for these last two weeks of runs and then I can give them a break to heal.
