Personal:

I have five cute kids. And I have some rockin short green racing shorts- I wear them mainly because it embarrasses my wife so much. I like ultimate frisbee, trail running, reading, and cheering for the Denver Broncos! And I have the absolute best wife in the world. And I used to run for the now-disbanded national Team Pearl Izumi- Ultra!

I ran from my house along the last 5 miles of the TOU course (very nice to have the miles marked), and then reversed the route. I went out at 7:20 pace for the first 5 miles, then returned at 6:50 pace, which felt pretty good. My last mile (mile 23 to 22 on the TOU) was a 6:30. I felt good, which made me not feel quite so bad about taking yesterday off. And being able to run 10 miles, with half of them under my goal time for RDS, sure helps me feel at least somewhat prepared for the race. 766- 126 miles

So my first toenail of the season has officially turned black. It is not uncommon for me to be missing 4 or 5 toenails all running season. And yes, my shoes are long enough- I think I curl my toes a bit when I push off. Anyone else lose toenails on a regular basis?

Thats is crazy that you lose so many toe nails! I've lost one a couple of times, but not for a while. My Dad has been running for about 30 years and he loses his big one every year. It has grown back so many times and is so thick that it chatches on the in-seams of his shoes. But I have never known anyone who loses five or more, you're just weird!
