Medicinal Marijuana Card, Mokara Spa, Omni Hotel, pedicure

I’m no hipster.  I don’t wear jewelry and it’s very unlikely you’ll ever see me sporting the latest fashion – men capris included.  But I’ve become a fan of the pedicure.  Karen and I celebrated her birthday this past weekend in the Omni Hotel at Interlocken where I indulged my feet in a gentlemen’s pedicure at the Mokara Spa.  Sweet baby Jesus – that was nice.  To all my Coloradan medicinal marijuana card carrying buds puffin’ out the analgesic qualities of weed, you haven’t had a quality pedicure.

Seriously, if you’re a big time runner or hiker – pay heed to what I’m bloggin’ here.  Odds are your feet, especially your toes, are uglier than Jimmy Bakker and Tammy Faye.  In your endorphin induced delusion, you either ignore this or chalk it up as a necessary price to be paid for your sport.  But that’s counter intuitive.  The more your feet contribute to your overall well being, the more they should earn in return.  Not only do your feet deserve pampering, but this is a health issue.  They need some attention to optimally maintain your habit.  Why should your calves get all the glory as you wear shorts outside in the middle of winter?  Wouldn’t it be nice to wear flip flops too?  I pound the holy hell out of my feet and I intend to add regular pedicures to my recovery routine.

Post Race Awards Ceremony

Moab, pedicure

This is not what you think.  I mean it’s not really an awards ceremony.  Nobody in my inner runner’s circle won any awards.  But we awarded ourselves tonight with a foot stompin’ good time.  To reward ourselves for our 13.1 mile efforts, we pampered ourselves with pedicures.

Four beers deep into the evening, I discovered my inner chick runner and enjoyed the massage, wax, hot wraps, buffing, chips, dip, olives and more beer.  I neglected to mention in my earlier blog posts on the Moab Half that the vast majority of Team Prospect were women.  Keith and Steve were the only two other men, but they weren’t man enough for this celebration.  With that said, can you tell which feet are man and which are woman in this pic?

Seriously, I not only enjoyed this – I plan to make a habit out of it.  Why not?  I beat the hell out of my feet running.  There are times Karen wants to put a bag over my feet.  My feet are a vessel and I should take care of them.  Before this, I didn’t understand what taking care of them meant.  Now that I know, I’d be reckless not to get pedicures.  You say what you want.  Or think what you want, you feckless voyeurs.  You got something to say, leave a comment.  I could have used this back in the day when I was a young athlete.  Of course, I didn’t exactly have the coin back then, but I imagine San Marcos had some cheap back alley spas that I could have afforded.  I’ll be joining Karen as a regular going forward.  That’s my foot on the right without any polish in the pic.
