Reward in a tube

Six miles today. 1:05:32. And felt FABULOUS. I’m so slow, but determined. I’m also the palest runner in the world. I’m fish belly white. I’m the whitest white girl on the white block. Why is it that pasty white fat appears fatter than tan fat? I guess fat follows the same basic black principles of the fashion industry. Someone tell my fat it needs a little black dress, please! And how do you do that? Easy.

I’m rewarding my fat with a healthy tan because 1) I’m a loser and 2) I’m old and I need to be better to my skin. Years of basking in the rays have taken their toll in the appearance of not so pretty fine line and wrinkles. Getting old is so fun.

I’m a wee bit nervous I’ll turn into a bleeding pumpking. I’ll keep you posted.

First, age is just a number.{ I just had a birthday} 40 is just around the corner.
And where did you find the self tanner?? Great job on your time. I am way slower, and I do not care, because I can do it. Can you point me in the direction to who made your banner. I need one made.

Wait, what is that? I do want to hear how it goes.

I refuse to comment because it would be inappropriate to go anywhere near the subject. I do want to be counted as commenting though, so I can move up higher on your “favorite commentators” list.

Good 6-miler Susan. I like the white-faced you in that header. Not sure that a white face and tan everywhere else would look good though. Anyway, go for it – I’m sure you’ll look great!

I’ve noticed the same thing about paleness making people appear less fit. And yet, I won’t leave the house without 15 spf on my face. I’m stick, I tell you. Sick. Do take pictures once you’ve got the perfect glow.

At least it is a healthy alternative!! I am curious on how it works!! Great job on the run!! I am slower than slow, but also determined!! I miss you and think of you a lot!! We should get together and run some time, now that gas won’t cost me an arm and a leg to travel over there!!

wash your hands after applying … you don’t want bright orange palms that don’t fade for over a week … even if you try to remove with nail polish remover and bleach!

Winters are so hard on our self image aren’t they? In Feb, I couldn’t stand any longer and tanned for my school vacation. I figured if I had enough money to vacation on an island I would tanned there, right? What they heck. It felt soosooo good. And I still have a little of the tan left!

nothing in a tube that looks like it was purchased as Uncle Doug’s House of Porn could be bad.
