Suddenly I feel like this list is just a summary of my blog the past year and a half. Huh.
Anyway, no, I wouldn't be stupid enough to any of those things again, right? Depends on how good the champagne is..
However, I would be stupid enough to get a pedicure. My dearest brother got married on Friday, and all of the girls got mani/pedis (why do I feel pretentious just using that abbreviation?)
So as they were scrubbing away at my feet, I was prepared to tell them to leave my beautiful runner callouses alone, but I... didn't. I think I chickened out, or I temporarily was paralyzed by the horror of having someones face four inches from my feet.
A miserable hour later, I had pretty pink, soft feet. Swell.
That next day, I went for a pre-wedding ten miler, and got the blisters from hell. Not quite as bad as The Longest Day blisters:

| Some of my less gross blisters from TLD I didn't want to make any dear readers lose their breakfast. |
I realized it all sort of backfired when I put on my sexy little wedding shoes and the strap had a blister peeking out on either side of it. I know what you're thinking; how can I even contain my sex appeal?
Anyway, I have a 20 mile run this weekend, the last big one before my FIRST MARATHON, and I am super not looking forward to the carnage that will be my feet.
Please share something stupid you have done that sabotaged your running... idiocy loves company.
Oh, I helped you on the bottle of champange, didn't I? That was some good pre-race drinking!
ReplyDeleteOwwww!! And there goes my want to get a pedicure :) Hope it's better by this weekend!
ReplyDeletePut some duck tape on it the spot you think you'll get a blister. That is supposed to help, isn't it? Maybe I have it backwards though and it's supposed to be duck tape after the blister? Huh.
ReplyDeleteI have not had a pedi in years and this is a great reminder as to why I won't! Thanks for saving me some money! Hope the wedding was fun :)
ReplyDeleteO'dear goodness Kim! I hope those heal up soon! OMG, I don't think I've ever seen so many blisters together on one foot like that! What have I done stupid?? Mmmm, I ran into a door this weekend....
ReplyDeleteHoly shit! I never would have thought about pedis being responsible for that kind of carnage. Your blog has taught me something very important today and I thank you!
ReplyDeleteStupid thing? A large quantity of Guiness the night before a long run. I farted so much I'm pretty sure I killed all the crops within a 10 mile radius of my house.
ReplyDeleteOUCH :( On a bright note, it's NOT the day before your FIRST MARATHON!!!
