Beware my scented candles…ooooh…scented candles
So, has anyone else noticed the weird “injuries/damages” done to your body by running?
For example, my feet. I used to have relatively nice feet. I would get pedicures at least once a month, and they were not ugly in sandals. However, my sister mentioned getting pedicures before her wedding…and I realized I’m slightly embarassed to show my feet in public now. Seriously. The bottom of my feet are super calloused and dry looking. I have blisters everywhere, and my toe nails are just gross. It’s digusting what running has done to my feet.
Or yesterday. My sports bra was so uncomfortable the entire time…and I have NO idea why. It’s the same one I wear running all the time. It’s usually super comfortable and I love it. But seriously, no matter what I did, I couldn’t get it adjusted right. I finished the run and didn’t really think anything of it.
Until I got home and showered and realized I had rubbed the skin raw under my right boob. And I mean raw. I have NO idea how I didn’t notice this at the time…but seriously…it’s freaking KILLING me now (and my shower was one of the most painful moments of my life. Also…wearing a bra…SUCKED). I was going to go to the gym after work, but I decided I needed a day off. So…I came home instead.
So…now I can spend my evening packing. Sigh.
Anyways, I’ll be back to running tomorrow…and hopefully the sports bra will be better. I’m also going to the running store on Friday (I have to pick up my race packet there) so I may look to buy a new one. Maybe I need a smaller one or something. I’m also contemplating getting a new pair of running shoes because the ones I’m using now…aren’t really supporting anymore.
I’m just full of all sorts of problems haha.
