I had the idea for this picture some time ago, but thought that I should wait through the summer so that the clearest line possible could form.
The image may not capture the full effect, but you get the idea.
Though I've been focused mainly on the health of my legs these past few weeks, I'd like to give my feet some eprops. I have asked a lot of them over the last few months and they (obviously) haven't had a lot of opportunity to see the sunshine. I have come to dread the time after my Saturday runs when I have to remove my socks and survey the status of my toes. I went through a period of fighting blisters on my left foot, but that seems to have passed now. At the moment I've got a right pinky toenail about to come off, and three on my left foot at different stages of bruising. Luckily, I took the photo above before any of these developments.

lol... i just hit up fleet feet today for some blister-free socks and i scored on a 50-75% off clearance... i have a forever blood blister on my pinky toe, countless callouses, and pain pain... more pain all over the bottom and sides of my feet....
just finished my 20 miler this morning:) well, to be fair it was probably closer to 19.5... regardless, i'm so RELIEVED. like, i have been dreading this run for months now...
can't believe it's all over and done with.. now i just have to keep my endurance up and rough my way through the last 6 miles come oct. 12th. i'm praying that these new socks do the trick... it seems that the blisters are now the only thing that's bothering me to the point of grimacing and hobbling on the high mileage runs...
good luck w/ your 20! i'm sure you'll be flying colors! YAY! I CAN'T WAIT TO EAT POST-MARATHON!!!
