I had my toenail removed on Wednesday - strict instructions not to walk for a week
Presumably this is to let it heal and reduce risk of infection? Even if it's not hurting a few weeks of following doctor's orders won't mean you suddenly forget how to run. Take it easy, get back into it steadily and enjoy your long trail runs through the crisp winter! Guilt trip your friends into joining you when it's -10 out because you missed the ones they are planning now!

I had my toenail removed on Wednesday - strict instructions not to walk for a week (back at work yesterday though) and next month's marathon is officially off.
It didn't really hurt, just feels super weird. I'm feeling slightly at a loss as to what to do now. I ran through the sweaty (40 degrees) summer so I could enjoy the nice temperature now, my friends are planning trail races in awesome places and I guess I'll... do some walking in a few weeks? Obviously for the next week I will take it easy, but what should I do after that so I don't go out of my mind with boredom?
