Hello Everyone! So, I was really bad and didn't run at all today. I got up a little late (5:30 am), and felt like someone took a bat to my body. I think my arm and shoulder actually hurt more today after my appointment than yesterday. Not good. I heard a loud pop earlier today, and it's been really bad ever since.

When I got home, I made these (for a church fall festival):

Last year I didn't do anything special with my cupcakes, just vanilla frosting on top, and not a single one was eaten. This year, they were gone in 5 minutes. Picky kids. :o) Actually, it's probably a good thing there weren't any left for me.

Okay, I also did this today:

And let me tell you, it hurts!!! I'm a little worried about my shoes rubbing against it tomorrow!

I like the cupcakes!

I think it will start out hurting, but your endorphins will kick in after a little running and everything will be fine. At least until the endorphins wear off.

well, I didn't run (I didn't get any sleep last night due ro a sick baby), but regular shoes burn! I'm thinking today I'll focus on other things. Maybe I'll check out that abs link Rachel sent me, with the guy in the shorty shorts. (wink wink)

Can I PLEASE have one of those cupcakes? PLEASE!!!!

From Camille on Thu, Oct 23, 2008 at 12:59:24

:o) Are you coming down for the Ragnar?

From Kelli on Thu, Oct 23, 2008 at 13:13:56

I am, but those cupcakes will not be good by then! You will have to make some new ones.

BTW, when I hurt my heels (blisters usually) I just wear a very cushiony bandaid and it usually is okay to run. OWY, though!

From Camille on Thu, Oct 23, 2008 at 13:30:52

These cupcakes didn't make it to today. Unfortunately, I didn't even get to try one. But, I was thinking that if we had a post Ragnar Party, I might make some goodies (depending on how much time I had leading up to the Ragnar).

Yeah, I have a pretty cushiony bandaid on right now. What you don't see (because I didn't take a picture of it, is that I cut up both of my big toes (really bad) and it pretty much hurts to stand. I'm being a baby though and will be back on the pavement in no time.

How'd you get all your cuts? Is there something we don't know about you? Is Brandon a circus knife thrower and you are his lovely target? Were you kickboxing dagger wielding bandits? Are you chapped because you forgot to moisturize?

From Camille on Thu, Oct 23, 2008 at 13:38:43

I like the Kickboxing dagger wielding bandits. I'll go with that!

From Camille on Thu, Oct 23, 2008 at 13:41:25

But the honest reason. I am barefoot at home 99.9% of the time, and we are renovating our garage into a room. Anyhow, I went into the garage to put the lovely cupcakes you see above into the fridge (we have a fridge loaded with Brandon's year supply of sodas in our garage), and stepped on a screw and cut my heel on the door. It was lovely. We had just cleaned up in there that morning, so it was kinda of a freak accident.

From Kelli on Thu, Oct 23, 2008 at 13:46:13

I was wondering if I had missed the story on how it happened! I never wear shoes, either, but I am less accident prone! ;o) My neighbors love when I run out to the mailbox in the snow in bare feet becasue I am too lazy to put on shoes! But my feet make such cute prints in the snow.

From Camille on Thu, Oct 23, 2008 at 13:49:20

I figured since everyone else had their gorey pictures on their blogs, I needed mine to! LOL. But you did hit the nail on the head, I am pretty accident prone.

I also run out to get the mail barefoot, and in the summer, when the pavement is about 120 (+) degrees, that could be considered out right stupid. And it doesn't make cute foot prints.

From Kelli on Thu, Oct 23, 2008 at 13:53:31

You could try letting your feet MELT into the pavement?!?

From Camille on Thu, Oct 23, 2008 at 13:55:01

LOL. I think you can get 3rd degree burns if you stand in one spot for more then 10 seconds. You have to move quick. This is why I was amazed when I found out that Lybi runs barefoot! That pavement it hot, even at night.
