Doomed!

So it seems that I've doomed my toenail.  The only time this has happened before was during my second half-marathon, and I haven't run anywhere near that distance yet, so I'm thinking it might have happened when I kicked a soccer ball in inappropriate shoes here.  This reminded me of all the other running maladies I've had.  I'm too vain to detail each one, so I'll just tell you that I've had about a dozen of the following 40 (after reading over the ones I haven't had, this is turning into a seasonally appropriate Things I'm Thankful For list)...

So why do so many of us still lace up our sneakers (I love this expression... who wears sneakers anymore?), often while suffering from any number of the above?  It must be that one side effect that makes up for all the rest.  I know I'm feeling pretty groovy after my 6.1 (sigh... I better correct this - the cute husband knows it was only 6.0905)-mile run... icky toenail and all.
