A Passion for Running

foot muscles!

Tonight I took the kids to the playground and chased ‘em around in the sand – in my bare feet of course! Then some other kids came along so mine had someone else to play with. I got to take a break…

So, I’m sauntering about watching the kids when I look down at my feet and I notice something – they are getting muscular! I know that must sound really weird to you because it sounds weird to me too! Where they are getting muscular surprised me too. The muscles are forming on the top of my feet. To be precise, there is definite muscular growth across the top of my feet from sort of the middle part and moving toward my legs. The most mass has formed just sort of in front of my ankles – like if you drew a line extending from the bottom of my ankle bone a couple inches toward my toes.

And you should see those suckers flex when I wiggle my toes!

No wonder the chicks are flocking! Nothing sexier than big ol’ muscle bound planks. Is there also hair growing on the toes? LMLAO!

I’m kidding, of course. What I really wanted to say was that I loved the description of you chasing the kids. It wasn’t the reason I started trying to be healthier, but it was one of the first places I really noticed that I actually *am* fitter ~ chasing The Boy all over the park.
