Oh The Woe Of Runner's Toe


What can you say about a toe?  What can you say about this toe?

It's not pretty, that's for sure.  That's because it's a runner's toe.

How can you tell?

Read back a few sentences.

"It's not pretty."

Runner's feet are not a thing of beauty. 

A runner's style may be beautiful.  His form may be downright perfect.  He may hold the pace of a God on the long run, but his feet will never, ever be pretty.  

Nice feet?  Not a real runner.


Never had a black toenail or a hideous blister?  How about a foot so blue from running in the cold that you were accused of being a corpse?  Never happened to you?

Out with you, you fake, pretty footed pretender.  

You're not a real runner, I say to you.

Show me an ugly foot and I will show you a beautiful runner.


Next week we will cover runner's ankle. 















Run on, you grotesque footed adventurers, run on.
