Day by day I look in the mirror and think: "Well hello there Pat Kelly." Am I the only one turning into their mom over here?
So, my mom was a beautiful lady so yay for me but there are a couple things that I could do without. Say the extra chin and the bunions.
Yes bunions. My 33yo rocking bod. . . . has pinkie bunions. (aka tailors bunions). *
They are largely genetic and likely also helped along by years of taping my feet for dance. Awesome blossom.
Why is this exciting right now for me? Because I have STRESS FRACTURES in my BUNIONS. Ok, so that is a medical generalizaion. . . but still. That's basically what is going on.
I bought some new shoes that apparently were not bunionette friendly and ran like 10-ish miles in said new shoes and now: stress fractures.
I probably developed one through marathon training last fall** but the other one is straight up from the new shoes.
Now for the sheepish part-- I picked said new shoes because they were pretty and super light and comfortable. and pretty. and bright. and pretty.***
Lessons learned.
It's really not the end of the world-- they don't hurt if I wear supportive shoes and they said I can try more exercise in a couple weeks. In the meantime, I am going to try swimming.

**I complained most of the fall about my achy pinkie toe
