runner's world

one of the things that has changed since we've got married is my indulgence in pedicures. i figure it's worth the $25 to get some nice lookin toes, especially when i live in flipflops outside of work. today i got a real light color so when it started rubbing off (from running all the time) it wouldn't look so trashy.

here's my conversation with the lady at the nail place:

lady: you put massage char on!
andi: no thanks, i'm trying to study
lady: really? no one do that here

lady (about to put plastic on feet)
andi: no, please don't take my calices off
(however you spell that)
lady: what?
andi: no, i need them... i run
(i had to use run. i don't think she knew what jogging was)
lady: ooooh! most people want feet smooth

lady: where is your toenail?
(i lost one over easter.... it is a jogging thing)
andi: ooh, it fell off
lady: what? you don't have toenail here?
andi: no, sorry. gross, i know.

but she was nice enough to paint my skin anyway.
2 other things you should not do while running:
1)forget glide..... detrimental mistake
(anti-chafe stuff for those of us who are unfortunate enough to have thighs big enough to rub on each other). of course i remembered this 3 mi into the run... but once you've motivated yourself to set foot on a 15 mi run you don't turn back in fear the couch's magnetic powers will suck you in

2) talk to dallas after getting back from 15 mi run. apparently he thinks you feel really good after this and feel like walking all over kingdom come to find boots for his work.

payback?
OH YES

since he's gone all corporate on us and is on the road a little bit, he eats real well (actually he's stocking up for when he comes home cause he knows we scavenge for food around here). last night we figured up that at his evening meal he consumed about 2x the amount of calories that i had ate in my entire day. when we got married we promised that if the other person started to blow up it was your responsibility to tell them to take care of it.

just in case those cals are starting to stack up, i'm being precautionary and am i'm making him burn it all off on this weekend's 16 mi run....

This is hilarious!! Haha! I love the "where is toenail?" You didn't tell me you lost one! How was it? Does it hurt or just fall off? I am still freaked!!
