Bruised my toe, do I continue to run? So this sounds silly but I figured I would ask for some advice anyway. So yesterday I couldn't find my favorite running shoes and rather than look harder I just threw on my trail running shoes that I haven't worn in a while. Pretty much right away I felt one of my toes start to throb but I kept running for 6.5 miles, stopping about midway to jump walls at the park for about 15 min. I get home, ouch it's numb, but nothing unbearable. Then, naturally, my enormous german Shepard steps riiiiight on the sore toe. Now the toenail is slightly blue, definitely bruised but not painful enough for me to be concerned about a break. Should I hold off running until the bruising is down? I don't want to lose a nail ugh gross, but maybe I'm exaggerated the seriousness of the situation? Thanks for any input!
