Running into the Holiday 12/20-12/27

[colby]

A week after my half marathon in October, it became clear that I was going to lose the 2nd toenail on my right foot. I have no idea how I damaged it. After more than 2 months, it's finally gone, and the new nail is looking pretty good! Weirdly, though, it seems alot smaller. (narrower and shorter). I can't remember losing a nail as an adult. I wonder if it will ever look normal again?

I've lost both the second toenails (before the big toenails, actually, probably because they are slightly longer than my big toes) and this will make both the big toenails.

My big toe nail grew back thicker, but otherwise pretty much the same. My second toenails grew back thicker in the middle part but are formed much more closely to my toe than they used to be (it's kind of nice). Shape-wise, I think they are pretty close, maybe a little narrower. It took forever for them to grow to their full size and look right again, even the second toes. It's like you grow back a super thick layer, then it grows out, and you get the real replacement nail behind it. They do put up with more stress now... the bright side I guess

Ran about 5k with my dog yesterday and picked up a wandering black lab (turns out she was 2). As long as we were moving, she was on our team, so I ran her home and got close enough for me to read her collar. We called her people and got her picked up.
