Track Meet Photos

Umm, first let’s start with what those spikes did to my feet. I only ran 1 mile in them! Why do my feet get so beat up?!

Here’s my left foot (which didn’t hurt much), and you can see the little hole I made in the blister to drain it:

On my right foot, I discovered this little gem on my middle toe:

But it was the bottom of my right foot that hurt. During that mile run in my spikes from high school, I developed a huge blister on the bottom of my foot. It HURT. Look at how red and inflamed it looks:

Here’s the same photo, only this one highlights the old blister in green, along with where the new blister formed in red:

The new blister isn’t on the side of the foot where I usually get them - it was on the bottom, so it made it hard to walk on Sunday evening.

Anyway, this is what caused those beauties: Here I am finishing up my first real mile run in 5:00.7 (I'm hitting my watch as I come to the line - that's why I look so awkward):

And here I am being presented with a loaf of bread afterwards by Gary, the president and founder of Charities Challenge (sporting his festive red pants):

Last night, I turned half that loaf into cinnamon French Toast for Pharmie.

I made it just the way she likes it: with whipped topping and syrup.
