PROFOOT - From Funky Feet to Presentable

Take one tiny glimpse at my feet and you know I'm a runner. YIKES. Yeah, it's that bad. Although, I've never lost a toenail, and I'm a little jealous of those who have. ;) But my feet are covered in callouses, corns, and otherwise just scary looking. And I have to say that I'm lazy when it comes to foot maintenance. 

But I had the opportunity to try some pretty awesome products from PROFOOT 


First I tried the Pedi-Rock. And in the past I've tried pumice stones, cheese-grater type contraptions, and even those razor blade tools to cut off the callouses without a whole lot of positive results. My first thought about the Pedi-Rock was that it was really easy to hold. It fit nicely in my hand, and I could reach a lot of surface at one time. I also liked that you could use it wet or dry. My results? Well they were pretty darn good. After just one scrubbing I saw and felt a noticeable difference. I have to say I was impressed. 

Next I tried the Heel Rescue Foot Cream. Alot of foot creams claim to be 'scent-free', but this one truly was scent-free. I am very sensitive to scents. I like to put cream on my feet when I go to bed, but if there is scent then I have to get back up and wash my hands which means usually the cream is either on the floor or I have to put on socks. This cream was totally scent-free. I was able to put it on, even rub it on my hands and it felt great. The directions say to put it on morning and night. Well, I admit after the first day I forgot to put it on in the morning. But it works. Yes, just one application at night has made a noticeable difference in my feet. Most of the rough places are gone, and I'm seeing smoothness that I haven't noticed in years. I'm sold. Who knows, maybe these runner feet will be able to wear sandals next summer! 

I'm not a huge fan of inserts mainly because I can't seem to find any that feel 'right' to me. I even had professional ones made, and I didn't wear them long. I did give these a try. And they actually felt pretty good. They were cushiony yet provided support. The shoes I had to put them in were my running shoes. And even when I took out the insoles, these felt a little too high for the particular pair of running shoes that I had (Asics GT-2160). And with my knee feeling wonky, I was afraid to run with the inserts. I did put them in more 'regular' shoes, and I got a better fit. I believe though that if I was on my feet a lot that these inserts would come in handy. They felt like they absorbed a lot of shock. Same goes for the custom heel (which protests the Achilles tendon) and the toe beds. 

Overall, I am very pleased with these products.

Self Care Is Not Selfish It's Necessary

It's not selfish to take care of yourself. It's not selfish to take care of yourself. It's not selfish to take care of yourself. And I'll say it just one more time in case you didn't hear me. It's not selfish to take care of yourself. I have found through experience that when I'm not taking care of myself, not only do I suffer but my family suffers. So ditch the mom guilt and take the time that you need! I have a tendency to keep pushing my needs aside until I reach a breaking point. We've had a very busy fun summer so far. However, I've struggled to get some quality ' me ' time to decompress. I'll spare you the meltdown that ensued. But the reality check that followed prompted me to take action.

Running My Life

Wow, has it really been 2 years since my last post? I suppose that I allowed life to get in the way. For any faithful blog readers, I apologize. Although, I'm not sure how many people actually read blogs anymore. I think most people use other social media platforms.  (By the way, drop by and say hi on Insta. )  But for some reason, each year when I pay for my google domain, I can't seem to let it go. As silly as it sounds, this little space is mine. And lately I've been struggling with ownership and acceptance. And my domain renewal was a not so gentle reminder that I have a voice .  Seriously, you'd think by 48 that I'd have this figured out - nope - apparently not. However, I am wise enough to know that we have a choice to allow situations to harms us or make us stronger. I'm choosing to let this mid-life quandary make me stronger. And because of this, I'm setting goals, taking charge, and reexamining priorities.  Movin' on... 

When The Planner In You Must Be Flexible

In case you haven’t figured this out by now, I’m a planner. I know - shocker right?!? :) So although I love substitute teaching, it’s making the planner in me anxious. And it’s been reeking havoc on my workouts. Basically the morning of or maybe the night before, I find out if I’m working. So my day ( that I thought I had planned ) can be turned upside down in an instant. But, truthfully, isn’t that really the same with everyone?
