Folks. It’s finally happened. Your Gal LMC has finally been recognised as an influencer. Kinda. A lovely man from sportshoes.com got in touch and basically said that I was a super cool Podiatrist and would I want to “collab” by giving my lovely patients a discount code for footwear. Obviously T+Cs apply but for anyone needing a new pair of brogues, you can use POD1025 for a 10% discount.
This has came at a great time because LMCFootcare celebrates 6 years this week. That’s a lot of feet and many an interesting conversation.
This week is also when I reached 15Km as part of my half marathon training. As a reward and incentive, I had purchased a pair of Asics Gel Kayano 31s a month ago and didn’t open them until I finished the run today. Going to use it as a teaching moment because I just wanted to show the importance in changing your footwear regularly.
If I was caught by the police running down the M1 motorway wearing the shoe on the left, I would be charged with a bald tyre- that’s 3 penalty points. Probably 6 because the other one is the same. Depending on how often you rotate your shoes and your activity levels, a trainer should be replaced every 300-500miles or 6-12months. Reduced support and cushioning can cause injury and pain if you continued to wear them. So next time you’re lifting a pair, do a quick MOT-check your tread depth and shock absorption. And if your shoes are starting to cause blisters, it’s a hard no.

Be footwear aware,

LMC

I was going to post a picture of my strawberries turning from Shrek green to sunburnt red but I was gifted a lovely bouquet of flowers by a very grateful patient today so I decided to post them instead. They also smell better and are a less sunburnt red than I currently I am 😅 I’m taking part in the Belfast women’s 10k on Sunday as part of my training for the Great North Run so I decided to do a short run today to try out the training top. The top was ok but the MILLION DEGREES outside was not. The suncream also ran into my eyes so I looked like I’d been peppered sprayed. If anyone has any ideas on how to stop this I would be very appreciative. Otherwise I’m going to have to forego the face suncream for my Garth Brooks trucker hat- and we don’t need that in our lives. Ulster has suffered enough.

Did you know that the first Wednesday in June every year is Global Running Day?
As I am basically an athlete now, I thought I would share that with you. This day is used to encourage people of all abilities to move more and stay active to keep themselves healthy.
Running has been shown to improve both your physical and mental well being.
Unfortunately this wasn’t the case last week when I fell doing my second ever 10K. You’ve never seen someone spring up as quickly. Don’t worry, my pride was the only real victim as an older gentleman stopped to ask if I was alright.
It turns out, I’m now at the age where if I fall, it’s not funny and people will show concern. Somebody contact Age NI please and thanks.

OAP,
LMC

Something different this FTF as we are in Tenerife. Apparently it’s roasting at home so the only difference between Costa Adeje and Costa Bundoran is the serious misuse of mobility scooters 😅.

In between sangria and sunbathing, I managed to run my first ever 10K this morning! This isn’t for any health benefits or fast sight seeing- it’s part of my training plan for running the Great North Run in September 🙊
Now anyone that knows me will know, I am built for comfort not for speed but I am running in memory of a very funny friend and for a good charity 💚
Also when I agreed to sign up, I assumed it was some sort of 5k fun run or a relay race. Not one of the world’s biggest half marathons. Oh well, these things happen. Now I just have to train for the bloody thing- I was holding out on telling the world until I managed to get to 10k so here I am telling world. I’m nearly half way there to the half!

10k in 10erife,
LMC

Incase anyone had thought I’d died, I was off social media for Lent and I’m just getting back to the swing of it now, while also trying to avoid being sucked back in to using it so much.
Since I’ve last been chatting to you, there’s been confusing Tariffs, Conclave and Katy Perry going into outer space- only one of these things has been made into a movie so far.
We also celebrated our first Wedding Anniversary (yay!)
And watched Man Utd get beat at Old Trafford (boo)

I have to say that having no social media didn’t make me any more relaxed or stressed but I think that’s because most of the videos I watch are of people falling or some early 2000 Eastenders episode, broken into 12 parts (turns out, Kat was her mother).

What I have been doing is exercising more (strava is my new instagram) and getting our garden Spring/Summer ready. I planted far too many tomato seeds and ended up sacrificing a few for the greater good. I also decided to experiment with them- half have been kept inside on a windowsill and the other half have been left to look after themselves outside. As you can see, the extra TLC inside the house has done the ladies a world of good compared to the two black pots. There is a lesson in this somewhere about the importance of self care but I’m too worried that people might think I’m growing w**d to notice.

You say tomatoes, I say toe-matoes,

There comes a stage in your shoes’ life cycle when you go from not wanting to wear them outside to a “frig it- they’re the official bad weather shoes now”. Unfortunately, my poor Asics got the down grade today when walking through the park this evening and Conan decided to take me along for a slip ‘n slide 🫠
I then stuck my newly promoted “gym only” Brooks on, to go back outside to clean the Asics when I stood in a puddle, so now I have three shoes and a sock drying on the radiator. If this rain keeps up, I’m fully transitioning to wellies.
In better times today, I received a lovely wee gift from a friend and I got to catch up with another new nephew after he finally escaped the Baby H-Blocks (aka- the NICU)💙💛 This brings my Nibling count to 5 and the reasons why I will never be financially stable.
But they are great, and will all make great LMC FootCare employees someday. I’m going to be like W***y Wonka except with shoes instead of sweets.

Oompa Loompa doopity Lou.

Ps- only one set of feet in this picture are mine.

Happy Valentine’s Day to all who participate. I prefer tomorrow when the Lindor heart shaped boxes will be half price 😅
We are spending tonight at the Belfast Giants vs Fife Flyers game in Belfast. For anyone who hasn’t been up to the SSE for the ice hockey , well let’s not lie, it’ll always be called the Odyssey (RIP The Box)- I’d highly recommend. We have been there now for a few games and it’s always a cheap and cheerful night out.
Do we know what is happening all the time? Absolutely not.
Do we always referr to the ‘Mighty Ducks’ every time?
Well it would be rude not to.
It does seem to be the only sport that I could touch the top of the goal posts though.
Also, there’s Finn McCool hanging around and sometimes there’s a person shooting Subway sandwiches into the crowd with a missile launcher which makes them kind of like Cupid 💘 I haven’t been successful yet but who knows? Maybe tonight will be my lucky night!

Lucky in love, unlucky in sandwich selection,

The very definition of a great day for the Parish!
Good luck to the Errigal lads today making history as the first Tyrone team to make it to the All-Ireland Club Final 🤩

Safe travels to all team members and supporters heading down to Croke Park today via planes, trains and automobiles!
I’m currently on the Enterprise myself making my way down to Dublin for the big day so will see you all shortly 🚂

And the main thing is-
Win, lose or draw
I’m off work tomorrow.

First Free Time Friday of the year and I was excited to get down to Tyrone to see a few of my regular clients and some irregular friends after a morning in the Clinic. It was nice to be driving the M1 while it was still bright outside but unfortunately most of the brightness was coming from the snowy fields the further West I went.

It was all going well until I got to the homestead and got stuck on the lane. This is the same lane I had to crawl up one day after primary school, because the ice was so bad on the steep part, so I’m feeling no shame in getting stuck in the Hyundai. Although at my age, my knees wouldn’t be fit for crawling so an SoS was sent up and thankfully the call was answered by a very willing brother and not so willing father who got his dinner interrupted. The favour was returned in the shape of free foot care and a bag of butterballs.
The Celtic Tiger may be dead but the Barter economy still lives on.

If it’s sleet, safe to do feet. If it’s ice, think twice.

Ps: it’s 11.59pm when I’m posting this so it still counts as an FTF.
If anyone argues, I have an empty grit barrel and a shovel if you want to take matters further.

Well folks we made it to Christmas 2024- if you had of asked me this time last year if I was going to get through it, I would have said unlikely. But here we are, and what a year it’s been- Weddings and 30ths as well as seeing both the Pope and Taylor Swift all within a few months. Both got standing ovations,wore fancy garments and lasted longer than 3 hours- it was basically the same show to be honest.
After such a busy year, I am glad to get some time to just relax and wind down. So we spent last night watching a Muppet Christmas Carol and now I’m questioning why more films don’t have a muppets version. It would change Titanic completely.

Thank you all for your continued support throughout the year and I’m looking forward to hitting 2025 running…in my new Brooks that Santa brought me!
