hands down

my hands hurt. no really, they HURT. i'll explain why in a bit but first:
i painted my fingernails for the first time in a lot of years. i had an aversion to painting my fingernails because i hated that they always chipped the same day i painted them or the next day. but i bought some new gray/silver polish i was dying to try so i decided to go for it. and i'm on day 3 with no chips! yay!!!
so here's the good side of my hands.  


and here's the bad side. this is what 64 pullups at crossfit will get you.
especially with my girlie hands that have not done pullups in a long while due to an elbow injury.

yikes. 4 rips on the left hand, one that was under the skin until today (ouch!)


and one very large rip on the right hand.  


add that to the pain you can't see in the muscles in my hand from gripping the bar that much and you've got some hurtin' units!
sometimes i wonder why i do it but more often then not i'm so proud of myself. i was once told i wouldn't be able to do even one pullup with my body type. and i did 64. 64! that's so frickin awesome!

as a lil extra here's my other phalanges:
i'm so loving socks with boots lately!
the comfort level and look are my favorite!
