stubbed my right big toe so badly last night that the nail bed filled with blood and started leaking. went to the podiatrist today, she removed the nail to make sure there wasn't a serious cut under there that could have gotten infected. turns out no cut, the blood was coming from the base of the nail. still, pretty freaking gross. so yeah, no running yesterday or today. she did say i could go back to it tomorrow but let's see how the toe feels.

right now it just feels like it isn't there, because of the novocaine.

damn that fu*king sucks!!!!!!! hope it grows back ok dang.

surprised that she said u could run so soon. nuts.



- run 41:02, 8.14 km
beautiful evening. just my second run this week.

- stretch

:o

ive lost toenails before but not the big toe. had one of those ingrown toenails b4 in my big toe, man that sucked so bad.

i once got my big toe stamped on with a football boot stud and lost the nail, but because the nail bed was traumatised it grew back a complete mess and will for the rest of my life now. basically super thick and strange looking, kinda like a snail on my toe and impossible to manage by myself so have to see the podiatrist to get it trimmed. only other option is to get it permanently removed! super annoying. damn toenails

What if you remove the current nail, wouldn't a more straighter normal grow in its place.

I cut my little finger on the door and the nail has grown around the stump so I have a curved nail going over my finger.

apparently not because they'd actually have to remove the nail bed itself where the nail originates from. so it's either snail toenail or no toenail. resigned to socks in bed with ladies for the rest or my life.

Sorry to hijack your log with this LBSS haha. toenail woes unite.

lol, glad i'm not the only one with toenail woes. on a related note, i learned recently that up to a certain age, human children can regrow severed fingertips.

got second moderna shot yesterday. woke up this morning feeling like i'd been, not by a bus, but by like a civic. no fever or vomiting but aches in every joint, even my jaw. i've taken some tylenol (they recommended that over ibuprofen) and two naps and will continue to chill today. much stronger reaction than i had last time but could be worse: my friend who i carpooled with to the vaccination site got a fever and was up all night vomiting. she had covid in december and also reacted strongly to the first shot.

That would explain it, as my little finger got cut on the door when I was 1 and it was the nail length of the finger and it grew but over the stump.

- run 53:13, 10.50 km
literally ran a headache away. had a low-grade tension headache most of the afternoon. had a sneaking suspicion that dragging myself into a run would help it go away and i was right. high five!

i will definitely try it again. it makes intuitive sense. running is both passively relaxing, in that it is a time when i am free from distractions and able to be fully present, and actively relaxing in that it forces me to pay attention to my body in a purposeful way.

on a completely unrelated note, i'm noting more and more how learning guitar has changed the way i listen to music. i've always loved listening to music -- i pity people who don't; famously nabokov hated music -- but now i find myself trying to figure out how it's put together in a way that was never previously accessible to me. it's more interactive, in a way. and especially as i'm starting to get into jazz a little bit, it's really fun to put on like 15 different versions of the same song and just hear how different artists have interpreted it on different instruments. and to think about why a certain approach works for me more than another. never would have done that before.

christ this felt good. got a little lost running up into foxhall, one of the fanciest neighborhoods in DC. no surprise, it's up high. averaged 74 feet per mile of climbing vs. my usual 50-55 feet per mile. noticeable difference.

first day running when it was over 90. ended up doing a lot of climbing as well, around 70 feet/mile. combination: struggle bus. or to look at it differently, forced slow pace (5:50), which isn't necessarily a bad thing.

went to NC and GA this weekend with my parents and brother. first time the four of us have been together, with no partners present, since my other brother died in 2018. it was great.

saturday

- hike 13-14 miles
did the very first stretch of the appalachian trail, starting from springer mountain.

sunday

- hike ~11 miles
neels gap to cooper gap. absolutely stunning. lower legs a little sore.
