Barefoot running has me considering doing something that, even as recently as a month ago, I would never even have considered:
painting my toenails.
Now, maybe in the bf world this isn't such a gestalt-shattering act, but at my age and with my somewhat conventional lifestyle, it's at least mildly subversive.
But, honestly, I am having such fun barefoot running that it's really stirring up the long-dormant kid inside and makes me want to be a little playful about the whole thing. And not that I want to draw any attention to my bare feet (ok, maybe secretly I do), but I figure, if people are going to be looking down there anyway, I might as well give them something to chuckle about.
So, my wife bought me some black nail polish, and has kindly allowed that I could borrow 5-toes-worth of her orange nail polish, and I figured I'd do the deed in honor of my favorite holiday in my favorite month. I'm thinking alternating-colored nails, and if I get really ambitious, little white skulls on the black ones. Or, if two-colors just seems too tacky and obvious, go for the straight black (still like the little skulls idea though).
So, have I lost my mind, should I reconsider, or just go for it? I'm especially interested in hearing from the gentlemen in the audience (assuming that there are some here or there, although evidence of such up to this point has been scant ): am I doing serious damage to my mojo here? And should I even care?
