Runners.....what can I do for toe nail pain
I am really getting into running. I am no marathoner, but I am up to 7miles and my nails are hurting even more than they used to when exercising. Any recommendations?

Are your sneaks too tight? Are your nails too long?

I try to keep them short, because otherwise they will crack.
I think I am going to go to a running store and see if I do infact need a 1/2 size bigger

Yes try getting a larger shoe! Also use glide or vaseline on your toes when you run, this may help, although it does not help me and I lose the same toenail every year! Just did my first marathon and have 3 black toenails :( It was worth it though!

Jenna, I saw a great sign during a marathon, which made me chuckle: "Toenails are overrated"
