I have five cute kids. And I have some rockin short green racing shorts- I wear them mainly because it embarrasses my wife so much. I like ultimate frisbee, trail running, reading, and cheering for the Denver Broncos! And I have the absolute best wife in the world. And I used to run for the now-disbanded national Team Pearl Izumi- Ultra!

I skipped Sat run to rest my sore Achilles. And this morning I had my right big toenail removed and permanently killed, so I'm home resting my throbbing toe. I'll start running again as soon as the pain is bearable. Anyone want to see a before/after photo?

NO.

How does one go about getting their toenail permanently removed and what does that cost?

Doc numbs the toe, then basically slips something under that frees it from the skin underneath, and pulls it out in one big chunk. Then he puts some kind of acid all over the base so it won't grow back again. I think the price will be around $400, though I'm not sure.

YES!

Well, actually I have seen the before plenty so only the after.

I'd like to do this several of my toenails. Did your insurance cover any of it? (I'm guessing not, since completely elective).

Keep us informed on your recovery. I've had elective surgery after Indianapolis and then again after Boston, so maybe this will be something I can do after Trials.

Paul- I think insurance covers it, but I'm not sure. I have a high deductible, anyways, so pay all of it.

I don't know if they do this much other than big toenails. I guess they could, but have never heard of it. I'll let you know how it turns out.
