Taking some advice (bruised toe)

I tried taking advice from a couple people. I was complaining at work about how sore my body is and someone tells me that the best thing is to go out and run. OK. Did that today.

I also showed my blisters to a different co-worker and he tells me to try using 2 socks instead of one. I told him that I got the bloody blister that way and that it wouldn't help. I told him that it made my shoes too tight because after running for awhile, my feet swell. That's normal when running. He then said to try loosing the laces when I feel like I'm at that point in my run. I tried that today and it helped. I didn't get any new blisters.

I do have a new problem, though. My second toe (long toe for me) was too cramped and instead of just getting a blister on top, I actually bruised my toe. The toenail is starting to turn a purple underneath...
