Nail on the second toe of the left foot black and blue and pulling up, apart from the rest of the toe. Probably from wearing the ankle supports all the time (which make the foot slide forward more than usual) and from the weakening of the nail due to fungus infection. Will wear the ankle support less during trail running. Wearing the support during orienteering is probably ok, as it entails relatively more lateral movement than trail running.
The old nail fell off. The new nail is extra thick and tough, but seems healthy. Mom says it was probably caused by the impact of the foot against the front of the shoe (that the nails and toes weren't used to when I started training in the spring and summer). It healed with time, and the toes and nails are probably tougher now.
