Will a pedicure make me run faster?

Ain’t no shame in asking such questions. You may laugh, but in my mind happy feet equals fast feet. Dry, cracked, unpolished tootsies are not gonna be feeling the speed-love methinks. So as my marathon prep whittled down to less than three weeks, one had to cover the all of the essentials…should I have to be rescued by some cute paramedic at mile 20, I needed to be preened!! After all, at mile 20 the hair will be skew-whiff, the sweat patches will be pronounced, and the only feminine thing left would be the nails and the tootsies!! Did I need a mani-pedi?? Hell yeah!!

So off I skipped to Malika most commonly known for its threading prowess, in the dangerously equipped shopping haven that is Westfield, for some getting-rescued-by-a-cute-boy prep!! (incidentally, there were a distinct lack of cuties in the St John’s Ambulance crew on the day, but that’s neither here nor there…) So anyway, I opted for ‘fishnet stockings’ red on the tootsies and ‘sugar daddy’ pink on the hands, just to let my Rescue King know that I am both sweet and fiery at the same time, and welcome gifts at random (list provided upon request).

My therapist was lovely and actually told me how to care for my feet keep them baby soft!! How many beauty therapists do that? So I now have my daily routine with some hints and tricks about how to keep the feet buff and my hands looking like they’ve never washed a dish in their life (ahem…note choice of ‘Sugar Daddy’ pink on nails…) I was a spoilt girl and my nails were just dazzling!!
