Christmas, fat feet and the beach.

Back into the routine she says.  Back into working a full day with 20 minute lunches, she says.  Back into getting up at 5.30am for a run, she says. 
And so she did.  And it's never easy getting back into the routine of things after a few weeks off overindulging in all things remotely bad for you.  Like good company, fine food and more than one's fair share of duty free Coruba Rum.
So one would expect the run to be refreshing, if not a little tough, but getting back on track has to be a wonderful thing.
If one hadn't got fat feet over Christmas.
I must have looked like a right plonker.  I did run a good run, but felt a little sore in the feet halfway.  I got to within 15 minutes of home and decided I'd scored a large blister.  Investigation showed that I had, despite the fact that my shoes are so worn in they are old friends now, scored myself a huge festering weeping blister on the back of my heel.  Too much of a visual going on there?  You should have been there.  Anyway, back to looking like a plonker… here I am, in my Nike dryfit running gear, my ipod in my ears and walking barefoot carrying my shoes. 
Seriously sad.

So the new year back into the fitness regime hasn't been all too successful.  The sad thing is the realisation for me to get 3 blisters (there wasn't just one!), my feet must have indeed put on weight over Christmas.  Either that or the 30 degree 100% humidity type weather has them a little puffy.  I'm choosing to go with the latter.

Back to editing for the re-run of my Point Of View class for big Picture Scrapbooking.  Due to run 28th january through til 24th February.  Let me know if you are joining me.

Here's a layout from the January Tarisota kit.  Nothing like scrapbooking photos of the beach, at the beach.  That's real sand on that layout. ;o)

    I wish I could take your class, but will wait for the 2nd quarter as I am deep into Cathy Z’s DYL right now. I am so intimidated by embellishments and sincerely hoping that you will be my guide to relaxing a bit and having some fun.

    Sorry to hear about those blisters. After training for a 1/2 Walking Marathon, I learned that spending money on quality socks saved me from getting blisters. Boo… Blisters. Boo
    Love the beach layouts. Wish I was at one right now. Maybe in my dreams.

    What a lovely page… great colours and textures, sand and all! 🙂
    Sorry about your blisters. I hope they heal quickly and you’ll be back to running again really soon. I am loathing every kilometre I run on the treadmill, but at least I’m moving. Only two and a half months of snow left here…
