Current truths? No more pedicures for me.
Like, ever.
I have officially re-joined the ranks of those with runners feet.
Now as painful and annoying as the whole thing is (um, strappy sandals and hot pink polish, please!) I feel very proud to have re-joined the ranks that I dropped out of all those years ago.
But, it's OK. Because I feel freaking awesome about the whole thing.
Even if it means getting up at 5:35 to run 5.1 miles before work (which incidentally freaked my husband out to high heaven who didn't realize that I left the house and was actually running down our street--then stayed wide awake and worried until I returned 45 minutes later.... Yeah, I think I'll stick to the gym for AM workouts--sorry hon!)
So, no pretty toes anymore, but, by gosh, I will turn myself into a running machine.
And those pesky 10 pounds I wanted to lose in 2009? There's only 1 pesky pound left.
Don't worry, I'm baking a cake for a bridal shower this weekend. There's a slight chance the cake won't actually make it to the shower--because I'll eat it.
True story. And it hurts.

Go get that last pound!!!! I need to get back into running as well and I think you just inspired me to get my bum in gear.
I loathe running with every fiber in my being, but I am happy you enjoy it & are getting back into it!
Great work with the weight loss; I'm sure you'll kick that 1 lb in no time.
omg good luck to you!!! i hate running but I am happy for your shed of 10 pounds.... xxxoo
Thats great! I wish I could drag my booty out of bed in the morning to work out!
You rock!! Seriously I admire you!
you are rockin' it! inspiring girl, inspiring! =) maybe i'll get off my bootay today and go walking=) it might be around a mall but it's still walking (i have to return a shirt, that's my excuse=))!
I must say, the diva in me frowns on the no-pedicure rule. It's spring/almost-summer and the best time of the year to wear shoes! Just get a pedi and show off those runner's feet. Who cares? Have the best of both worlds, baby!!!
Oh, I'm with legallyblondemel on the running thing - but good for you on the weight loss! That's fabulous! If you need help eating that cake, you know I'm your girl :)
{p.s. I just posted a giveaway - come and see!}
Oh man, I feel ashamed at my pathetic attempts to exercise before work!
Good for you! And I look up to you - if only I had the self-control to make myself run! :)
I am so proud of you and all of your working out!! You only have one more pound to go! That is freaking fantastic!
I admire you for sticking to your running routine. That is awesome that you have almost lost 10 lbs. Way to go!!! If you get your necklace, please put a picture of it on your blog. Aren't they just the prettiest beads you have ever seen? I love mine!!! Have an awesome week. Love & blessings from NC!
Only 1 pound left? You are so freakin' awesome!! I'm really jealous.
yay! you're doing great! you are a running machine!
and double yay for losing those pesky pounds!!!
Yay for only one more pesky pound! You've got this!
Hmm but after the pound will you treat yourself to a ped? just because???
Congratulations on the 9 pounds! I joined the bicycle ranks as the knees wouldn't like the pounding! It feels so good, doesn't it?
Nice to find your blog. I like reading your entires. :-)

LOL about your husband laying in bed worried, ok not really that funny that he was worried but it reminds me of my boyfriend I usually run in the afternoons during the work week, but on weekends I started trying to run in the morning bc once we start our day exercise plans go out the window so I need to squeeze it in on the wkend mornings. Well he woke up and panicked when I was gone, but then he thought to himself that maybe I went to pick up a surprise breakfast in bed...foolish boy!
My feet are gross too! It's ok, we can have gross toes together!
I only put the nutritional info because people were demanding it!
So can I send you some bunny corn? :)
Wow, that's awesome you've lost 9 pounds! That running must really be working! I think I'm going to get a pedicure tomorrow, speaking of pedicures. It's my last chance before I have the new baby and won't be able to leave the house! :)
YAY!! Ugly feet unite! :)
I went running tonight in new shoes and got BLISTERS on the bottom of my feet. Argh. But hurrah for running again. Lovely to get back into shape. Fantastic!
