Wow! That's amazing!
Last piece of my run costume. Ariel magic band.
I've been seriously slacking on my training, so I did 10 miles today. And for some reason I decided the 1.25 miles to the gym would be a good practice for the corral walk - except it's 10 degrees here (-2 with the windchill). So so cold!
Now for my question that I'm hoping someone can help with. I developed a blood blister under my second toenail. I've had toenail bruises there before, but nothing ever this bad. Most of the info I've find online seems to be for those with a second toe that is longer than the big toe (which I don't have), so I'm unsure how to prevent this in the future (I popped this one and it's starting to slowly feel a little better - sorry, gross, I know). My shoes don't seem to be rubbing, and I have a good amount of room in the toe box, so I'm not sure what's causing it. Anyone have any advice?
All packed!! 4 more sleeps!

I, too, struggle with blisters under the toenail of my second toe (just the one on my left foot, which is weird because that's my "normal foot" as my right foot is the one with the bunion and occasional tendonitis in the ankle). Like you, my second toe isn't longer than my big toe.
I mentioned it upthread here, but I ran my first HM in cotton socks, which caused a blister to develop under that toenail and it eventually turned black and fell off. Ever since then, that nail has been slightly raised and so it must constantly strike or get caught on my socks when I run. I always size up my running shoes to allow for room in the toe box, I run in Swiftwik socks (not cotton), and I always apply BodyGlide to the tips of my toes before I run, but it still gives me issues. It doesn't hurt as I am running, but occasionally throbs after long runs. I try to keep it pretty short since it hurts when it gets longer, but that's pretty much all I can do, because I feel like I've tried everything else.
So jealous! I still have to pack.
I still have to do laundry so I can pack! I should really get on that...
I LOVE making lists and packing, so I was super anxious to start haha and it helps too that it's -9° right now, so I definitely don't need the clothes that I am packing!So jealous! I still have to pack.

Hello everyone! I have a couple questions for all you kind DW Veterans out there if you wouldn't mind helping me make some decisions.... haha! I have an active two year old boy and am wondering about a few dining reservations I have. We plan on Chef Mickey's the night we arrive, but I've heard it can take a while to get in even when you have a reservation... Second, I have a reservation for Sanaa one night but I can't get in earlier than 7:25, is it worth it? Lastly, Which one: Splitsville or Rainforest Cafe??
Thank you all so very much, I've enjoyed following this thread and am so pumped to run with you next week! ("Next week", it's so close, eeeeeeekkkkkkkk!!!!!!)
