I think I’ll remember my own LIFE

My feet are miserable today!  Actually…it’s just the one…but it’s miserable enough to make up for the other one.  It has 3 “bumps” on it.  The one hurts, the one itches, and the other is kind of switching back and forth between itchy and burning.  SO…I’m not really sure what they are.  I know the one is definitely a blister.  It’s right beneath my toes and that’s the one that really hurts.  I could feel it form yesterday as I was running, but honestly, I’m pretty sure it will form a callous before Thursday’s run…so not too concerned.  I think the one that burns/itches is also a blister it’s just in a more awkward spot which is why it’s more irritated.  But…I also think it will be fine for Thursday’s run.

However, the third bump I can’t tell if it’s a bug bite or a blister.  It’s driving me CRAZY!  It’s right along the arch of my foot so anytime I move my foot it aggravates it.  Seriously, it is insanely itchy.  And it’s super awkward b/c it also tickles when I’m trying to scratch it.  So not happy right now.  Again, I’m sure it will be fine for Thursday’s run…but oh my god it’s right now I’m concerned about!  So awful! 

Argh. 

However, I did my 3.5 mile run yesterday and it wasn’t too bad.  I felt good when I finished (maybe not while running…but afterwards was good :-P).  I am still a pathetic runner…but whatever.  I WILL finish this stupid race and dammit…I don’t care how long it takes or how slow I am while doing it. 

I also wanted to show my super cool watch I bought for $3 to keep track of my time while running.  It’s seriously awesome.  The box was labelled Men’s LCD Sports Watch.  This is what it looks like:

I’m trying to figure out what man buys a watch with a translucent pink strap and white and pink face (this picture isn’t the best…but you can at least get an idea of the coloring)?  There was also a blue and grey one that I would have preferred…but I figured I would save it in case a guy actually needed a watch (also…the pink one matches my one outfit and visor!).  However, for $3….this watch is awesome.  It tells me what day it is (in case I forget mid-run), it tells me the time, and it has a timer function, and a date function, and an alarm function!  my regular watch doesn’t even do all that.  The only problem is that I can’t tell if it’s waterproof or not (I assume not since it doesn’t have it written anywhere).  So…I wish I could find my old shark watch (J- any luck?) b/c I would be much happier using that. 

Lastly, I have plans to be super ambitious on Thursday.  However, I’m not going to say how in case I jinx myself.  This way…I have stated my goal which means I’ll have to be embarassed if I don’t follow through…but I won’t have jinxed myself to not do it.  (I realize that makes no sense to anyone but me…but I don’t care!)  So have a lovely day!
