I won't say that Andrew didn't warn me not to do it but he did. As we cruised in the final miles of our long run on Sunday I let slip that instead of laying quietly on the couch after the run I'd be participating in a tennis tournament!! "You're doing what? " he asked. Long story short, I played in the afternoon and stubbed my big toe making a quick stop on the court. It immediately hurt and started to turn dark and now looks like it might turn black and fall off. Duh! (Sorry, no picture, it's too gross)
We had a nice long group run on Sunday with a group of 4 for the 1st 7 miles and then 3 for the next 12. Andrew and I finished off the last 2 miles together. The question was asked as to how many Boyden group runs we've done so I went back though my log. Since Nov. 2005 we've done 52 Sunday runs including 22 of over 20 miles and a total of 2570 runner miles.

sorry about the stubbed toe hope you are feeling better now.
Wow 52 outings. Not bad for the Boyden boys!
I assume it's the nail is in danger of falling off and not the toe.
That's an impressive Boyden Group run record.
Kudos to the Boyden gang!
Glad to hear the toe is getting better. I used to hear the same from Andrew when I played soccer. Or swam. Or biked. Or...
Good job getting those miles in. Miles make champions.
OUCH!! Holy cow! I've got some super glue if it does fall off. Without your picture, I'm visualizing Bob's toes from after his ultra.
Yes, Grellan it's the toenail and not the toe in danger of falling off sometime in the future. And no Dusty, I don't plan on the crazy glue solution ;-)
