Saturday, I wore new kicks to an event (a post on that to come). I like to save my good running sock for long runs so I wore my cheapy ones. Those new shoes tore up my heals. Then Sunday like an idiot I wore the same kind of sock on my run. Blood on the heals of my Newtons! I'm so mad at myself. Wednesday, I'm going to by more good socks.
My Battle Scarred Newtons
And of course, I've now added more scars to my heals to match the semi-missing big toe nails. I can't decided if I should paint my toe nails and wear sandals or hide my poor runner's feet.
This weeks plan:
| Sun | Mon | Tues | Wed | Thurs | Fri | Sat |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 07/11 | 07/12 | 07/13 | 07/14 | 07/15 | 07/16 | 07/17 |
| 30min run | lift upper body bike | 30min run | easy walk lift upper body | bike | 6.5mi | bike |
How do you feel about your poor scarred, blistered runner's feet? Ugly and deformed and should be hidden? Or badges of honor to be shown off with pride?

I say show your feet off with pride!
I painted my black toenails with a darker nail polish shade. I'm usually a pink/lighter shade nail polish kinda girl, and having black toe mail is helping me venture outside my comfort zone.
Man, your Newtons are pretty bloody looking.
Ow your feet!
I actually wear sandals with socks. It's a holdover from my days living in Boulder, CO. That is just how it's done there because you wear sandals all year round LOL! Plus it keeps your feet from getting sweaty and dirty.
You'll do great with the long run this week, you've been gearing up for it and it's ready to give it a shot! Owie on the heels, I don't think that's anything I've ever had before!
My feet are my badges of honor--Pedicure? Who needs it!!! Although, once when I did get my toe nails painted to match my fingernails, the girl gave me an interesting look and asked if I wanted the full pedi-treatment. I declined...I would feel too bad for her if she had to file down my calluses!
