Toenails!

Just wanted to remind you to cut your toenails! This is my first walk and I was so excited to hit the pavement this past weekend in nice weather for a change. One toe was digging into another and after 4 miles I had to take my shoe off and wrap my toe with a tissue. Just a tad bloody but I did the whole 8 miles I was aiming to. I can't wait til May 1st!

It took me 3 days to feel normal after last year's walk. Definitely take 1 (or 2) days off.

Keep them short for sure. Last year I lost 2 toenails from all if the walking. And, if you wear toe rings I'd suggest taking them off. I had no problems with them on the training walks but the first day of the actual walk I got huge blisters between my toes because of them. Ouch!!

Amy, thank you for that information about the toe rings. I would never have thought about it, i have been training with them with no problems, but a good point about a longer walk. Thank you for the info.
