Losing toenails from running.

I have been training for a 10K and am at my race distance. I lost my one toe nail it swelled up and turned black first then it was numb and the nail came off. A new one has grown in since then and is a little sore after my run but is still black too. My shoes feel fine. It is my right foot. Could it be because that is maybe my dominent foot? How do you make the nails stronger or prevent this from happening?

Any running side effects from taking...

Propeica? I've just started taking it and haven't felt any different on short or long runs. I do however, have a half marathon coming up and was just wondering if there was anybody out there who has taken it and felt any different?

I want to run fast and keep my hair
