Finally, a bright side to all this running.

I was walking through Woodfield this weekend with my friend Carolyn doing some much needed retail therapy. We were gazing/drooling at the new boots in Aldo when I began to reminisce about the wonderful heels I used to clomp around in pre-running. Since I started training I've pretty much traded heels for anything with comfort, arch support, and that would correct my pronating. (Which by the way goes with NOTHING.)

Then it hit me. Maybe, just maybe, after all is said and done, when the marathon's over in a mere 30-something days, my feet will be so numb and dead from pain, that I'll be able to wear heels again! And not just any heels, high, hot, painful heels that normally would crush toes but since they'll probably fall off by then anyway it won't matter!

So at least I've got that going for me. =D
