Since so many of you are 'bragging' about your foot accomplishments, I thought I would throw mine in the mix as well. My second toe on both feet is slightly longer than my big toe (some call it the smart toe, but it never helped in school) which creates some problems when getting shoes sized right. So I normally have a large callus on both feet. And when that finally lets go, I start over with blisters. However, I think I had a fold in my sock at Troika and the 1/2 marathon created a couple blisters that look tough. Then on my 18 mile run last week, things only got worse. Oh well. It makes it tough to wear flip flops (though I am still fond of the old term 'Thong') when your feet look like some STD... not that I have ever seen or had one. Ahh, the life of a triathlete.

Oohh my god. You need to amputate those things. I thought I had it bad that must hurt like hell. Those make me hungry.
The lady that did my nails yesterday actually asked me if I was embarrassed to wear sandals. Wonder what on earth she would say to you?
Perfect time to go donate blood, they wouldn't even have to use a needle, they could just squeeze your toes into the glass tube!
