Hello! Today was my first post-marathon run. I was really nervous about it because it wasn’t until the run after my last marathon that my knee started to hurt. I am going to come back to running very slowly in order to avoid getting injured again.
2.82 miles slow and steady 🙂
I have been quietly practicing intuitive eating and realize my body enjoys protein to keep me full. Since I didn’t feel like eggs for breakfast I made a protein shake.
I’m expecting my CSA delivery today so I didn’t pick up spinach at the store yesterday.
But, what do you do if you want a Green Monster? Frozen spinach works fine!
On the side I had PB&PB toast – that’s Pumpkin Butter and Peanut Butter Toast for those of you who are acronym challenged 🙂 
Remember when I dropped a can on my big toe and kept showing pictures of it on the blog? If you want to remember you can click here.
Well, I have an odd fascination with my toe nails turning blue because I feel the need to update you on the status of the newest addition to my blue toe family. The second toe from the left is a goner.
Not-so-fun-fact: When I lost a toe nail after my first marathon I may or may not have put it on my friend’s desk at work. Aren’t you glad you’re not my friend?
I feel like I owe you something for subjecting you to my feet pictures, so here’s a beauty tip:
After shaving in the shower and rinsing off, spray body oil on your legs while they’re still wet. Rub it in, then get out of the shower and pat yourself dry as you normally would. The moisture will be locked in and your legs will be the smoothest ever! *Be very careful as the oil will make your shower floor super slippery. I have no-slip pads on mine.

Happy Thursday! Have a great day 🙂
Ahahaha you are a champ. I love the toe-desk story.
Hmm I’ve never used frozen spinach either – does it bulk it up as much? I find baby spinach adds so much volume that I love.
ok so why have i never thought about using frozen spinach?? genius! im running in my first marathon in a few weeks, am i destined on losing toe nails? atleast the bright side is its the beginning of boot season 🙂
This is the first time I have ever won anything wahoo!! Thanks girl!
waiiiiittt…..your toe nail will actually fall off???? like gone? whoa….i had no idea. i need to google this.
annnnnd did you get the pumpkin butter at trader joe’s?
I’ve always wondered that about frozen spinach in smoothies…and now I know!
great to know the run went well.
Glad your feeling good after a little run!
I eased in with two miles today. So many people have gotten knee injuries after marathons, which makes me a bit weary.
Yeah, it wasn’t until after the marathon that my injury “set in”. So, I’m being careful!
LOL you put your toe nail on her desk? HILARIOUS! Something I would do for sure.
That body oil smells so good!
At least i’m not the only one posting foot pictures on my blog…I’ve got major toe issues right now. But I’m also kind of fascinated by them… (my husband, not so much)
I work part-time at a running shoe store so I get to fondle lots of feet, I’ve pretty much gotten over any phobias by this point 🙂
I’m not a big fan of feet. I only like mine. 🙂 My kids’ feet are pretty cute though! 🙂
hahahah as much as i’m not a fan of feet in general i have a weird fascination with my toenails turning colors and falling off. and i must show them to everyone. i think we’d make great friends hahah
I’ve always thought we’d make great friends 🙂
Ouch! Your toes look painful!
