Ahh, there she is, in all her glory. the disgusting, huge, fugly blister. The things we do for fitness!
At least the elliptical didn't hurt - I put moleskin over the spot in my shoe that was rubbing and tied the shoe very loosely. Since feet don't move on the elliptical all was well.
Weird dream this morning.
I dreamed about one of the bloggers whose blog I read often. I have a link to her blog (Iron Mary). The details of the dream have faded away, but I have perseverated on the oddness of having dreamt of a blogger whom I have never met in person.
I am certain that it was due to my beating myself up over my shitty 5K time in comparison with people like Mary who train constantly for REAL races, such as triathalons. And here I am trucking along like an old lady in my little 5K turkey trot.
Truthfully, and the way I have resolved to look at this from this point forward, my shitty time was certainly better than the time of all those who walked, and certainly better than all those who didn't participate at all (thanks, crumbs). And the simple fact of the matter is that a year ago I couldn't run .25 mile, much less 3.1 miles, which makes my little turkey trot a feat indeed.
I'll post my exact rank as soon as results are posted. I'm very anxious to see....just knowing this information could very well boost me.
I will improve in time. I will be patient and diligent.

Your time was still better than my time. I didn't pace myself well when I raced. I ran out of steam.
Your foot - ouch!
That blister is NASTY. If I were you I'd pop it so I could see the blood drip out of it. :)
I feel very honored that I appeared in a dream! Cool!
I'm also flattered that you think I'm fast. The thing you must remember, though, is that like you, I think I suck. So who gives a crap how fast we really go? Because both of us will just think we suck and are too slow anyway, right? What would it take to think we do well?
(other than electric shock therapy, I mean.)
Had to laugh at the moleskin, which only a DANCER would know to use...
Just finished reading Running With Scissors. Have you read it?
OUCH!!!! I've had some like that. I have tried moleskin too but I love these Blister bandaids that Bandaid makes. They are thick and have a slippery surface so they stay on very well and prevent more friction. Hope you're healing.
