Cracked Heels

A couple of times a year, without warning, my heels crack.

Not unlike the possible unforeseeable eruption of the Yellowstone volcano but without the long term consequences for humanity.

It's always mightily painful and always sends me searching for the super foot cream that I can never find at the time of need.

I ran all the way to school on my toes, which is, perhaps, how I should be running anyway.

So, cracked heels it is, the story of my day so far. A full day of teaching ahead followed by a department meeting, followed by a run home in sodden clothes.

Still, I have a feeling it's going to be a good day!
