So, if it is not too personal a question, why were you bleeding? I have never been unable to account for why I was bleeding. If blood is coming out of me I know why. Are you re-using those medical wipes as kleenex? Are you sharing needles with the rats? What is up. Hoping you are OK, Jason.

Well, in the case of my hand, I had cut my finger without noticing. This has happened to me before...the only thing that was unusual about it was the fact that it bled so profusely considering how superficial the cut was.

The toe thing was more mysterious--I think the blood was coming from underneath my toenail, but it was hard to tell because I have dark purple nailpolish on. That had never happened to me before, but I've heard lots of stories about runners having weird foot/toenail problems, so I wasn't too worried about that one, either.
