Before After

Where has she been?

What has she been doing?  (whisper, whisper)  Sorry - Gossip Girl took over my fingers for a minute!

Anyway, I'm still here, just busy, busy.  And sweating.  There's lots and lots of sweating!  Because it's Vegas hot here in Boston - and humid!  We're in the middle of a heat wave...'cause 3 days over 90 degree temps makes the meterologists around here swoon!

So, I'm doing fine.  I only have a 2 day work week since we're leaving for Vegas tomorrow, and I've actually had work to do.  I am going to try and get my race report from Sunday's 10K posted...you should all be waiting with much anticipation.  <Cough>

But first....on Saturday, I went to get my mani/pedi.  "I walked into the spa with 10 toenails, but left with only 8"...yep, my quote of the day!  Jane decided that it would be better to just get rid of those pesky half-attached toenails so off they went.  And they feel so much better!  Sure, they don't look very good, since she didn't paint the skin, but I'm sure the next time I see her in a couple of weeks there will be new toenail growth to take care of!

I did go to my LRS (local running store - Runner's World lingo) and had a chat about my foot issues.  The salesboy (yes, he was a boy) and I decided I needed to go up another 1/2 size to a 9.  Sadly, they didn't have any in stock, but will send a pair over from another store for me.  I doubt they will be in before I leave tomorrow, so I will not be able to put too much mileage on my current shoes in Vegas.  I'm supposed to do 6 miles on Saturday which is about the point where my toes start getting crunched, so we'll see how that goes.

Anyway, just a couple more hours of work and then I'm heading home to get packed.  Our flight is at 7:00 am tomorrow so that's quite an early wakeup.

Take care and I will see you next week!

Ouch!

That's terrible that you only have 8 toenails.  But funny that they're not painted.  Enjoy your trip.  I know you will!

WHOA!!

Sorry about the toes!! I hope they get better soon.

Have fun!!!

 I hope you have fun in Vegas!! It has been super hot here in SC too. We have had nothing but 100 plus temps here. I'm miserable. It appears things are cooling off and just in time for the 5k on Saturday!!

Hey

Thanks for stopping by my blog.  Don't feel bad about the toenails, I have 9 of them as I type, lol! It's grwoing back , though!

I wish you well on your 10K this Sunday! Take Care

*Queasy*

I can usually handle blood and guts but the thought of someone taking toenails off makes my stomach turn!  Now they will heal well though!

Have a great time in Vegas!
