things: runner's toe

大会後のランナーを悩ませる物の1つに爪下血腫があります。
There are a couple of things which troubles runners after a race. One of them is runner's toe.

今回は左足2カ所と
At this race, I got two at my left and

右足の薬指。ここはいつもなるんじゃけど、今回は熱いよ…
one at my right. I get this after every race, but it has fever this time...
というか目玉おやじみたいじゃ。
If you look at it long enough, it'd become medama-oyaji (Daddy Eyeball).

腫れが爪の足側まで広がってきていて、指があまりに熱いので「東さぁあ〜ん!(泣)」と電話をして対処策を聞いてみました。
Since this swelling is spreading toward to a leg and my finger is too hot, I made a call to Higashi-san for "HELP!"

クールタイガー「8mmくらい爪がもりあがって、もげそうなんですよ! で、腫れがこっち側まで来てるんです!」(「こっち側」って… 電話だからもっと分かり易く言おうよ、自分)
東さん「足側ですかね(分かってくれてありがとうございます)。…8mmですか(微笑、のような気がした)。うーん、2〜3日そのままにしておいて、痛くなくなったら水を抜いてみたら皮がひっつくと思いますよ。そうしたら爪が痛みなく取れますよ」
cooltiger "My nail is raised by about 8mm and it's almost come off! And this swelling is spreading toward to this side. [Which side? I'd better to make myself more clear next time since it was a phone conversation, not over skype with a camera]"
Higashi-san "Ah, toward to your leg, right? (Thanks for understanding me!) 8mm, huh? Well, leave it as it is until pain is gone, then take water out. It should make your skin and a nail put together again and a nail will come off without a pain."

東さん「痛みがある間に走ると、そこをかばって足底が痛くなったりしますから気をつけてください」
クールタイガー「えぇ、ちょうど台風も来ているんで(笑)筋トレにしておきます」
Higashi-san "If you run when you have those nails with a pain, you'd hurt a planta of your foot. So, please be careful."
cooltiger "Well, we'll have a typhoon to come soon by chance, so I guess I'll just work on workout."

本当に台風来ています、決して言い訳ではありませんよ〜;-p
Yes, seriously we'll have typhoon, it's not an excuse at all ;-p
