Wanna see my blisters?

Running sucks!

Ok...maybe I don't REALLY mean that...but this half-marathon training is killing me.  My body (uneven hips and all) is not built to endure long-distance runs it would appear....and it is letting me know it.

In addition to the back, glute, hamstring pain I'm dealing with while running double-digit km's I now have some lovely blisters... Blisters that I have photographed and will show to anyone willing to take a look.  Not sure my point in doing that...do I need to show that I'm tougher than them?  Maybe it is because people can't SEE the other pain I'm in...so this is a little bit of tangible proof that I'm suffering?  Who knows..  But whatever my reason - here's a little blister love for you too:


(Excuse the very old remnants of nail polish!  Hey...I'm an athlete in training! I don't have time for luxuries like pedicures!!)
