How many Black Toenails make you a Runner?

[Luv2Run]

I've lost three in the last 6 years, two of them were after my first half marathon when I stupidly ran in cotton tube socks. The toenail on the second toe on my left food has given me problems ever since losing the nail back in 2012. I've tried everything, but it's just a problem nail that I have to deal with, I guess. It's not painful enough to make me quit running or see a doctor (yet), but that's probably because I don't do super-long distances.

I've lost both big toenails twice and one or two of the littler ones. It's always interesting to find one in your sock lol. My lost toenails grew back kind of funky and ridgy.

I have been a runner going on 40 years now (with a wee break in there) and have never had a black or lost a toenail.

Soccer, on the other hand, has claimed both of my big toenails a few times.
