Things they never tell you about running

The dreaded black toe. I'd never heard that this was a common complaint that comes with running longer distances. They should stamp this on boxes for trainers like they do with cigarette warnings. It came as a wee bit of a surprise to me last month when the big toe on my right foot ended up black after smashing my PB. 'Running's good for you,' they said. 'It'll be fun,' they said. :/

Don't worry, I'm not going to post a photo of this one. It's gross. Apparently it'll just grow out and drop off eventually (the nail, not the toe). I wonder what other things will come up along the way that no one really speaks about...?
