OT - Sorta

So since getting skinny I have had this insane need to feel girly, pedicures are my new guilty pleasure and I love wearing peep toe shoes, sandals and flip flops now to show them off, but today I lost a toenail on my right foot from running (it's called runners toe and its freaking ugly and painful and I am so not happy). I figure it happened b/c they just don't cut my nails short enough during my pedicure and it cause the shoe to rub.

So I now have to choose between pretty feet and running, and obviously running wins, it's just a little depressing to see my ugly toe when I slip on my pretty shoes. Vanity now will be the death of me (instead of Twinkies).

Gah.

Hey...quick fix in the meantime...use press on TOENAILS (if you can)! Seriously, they make them. My little sister always said she was jealous of my pedicured toes and she doesn't grow the cutest toe nails so she wears press on toe nails. I didn't believe it until I saw her feet!

I don't even think it's possible b/c of the gross blister that formed under the toe, its so ugly LOL

Someone seriously needs to make us girls a running shoe that will save our toe nails!! I see those weird running shoes that look like gloves for the feet....if they had more support for my screwed up feet, id totally be getting those!

Ouchy! I hope you heal quickly :/

I have all of my toe nails, and I'm not supposed to show them off right now because I'm supposed to wear sneakers until my foot heals. So I'm right there with ya!

Pretty Feet ......Every time !!!! (yes, I'm a freak that way!!!!)

Let's face it.... there are thousands of shoe styles for women for a reason.........Men get about 10.......

My opinion...... Running is just about the worst exercise you can do..... so hard on bones and joints....(and feet and toenails)

Get a bicycle and more freaky shoes.......
