Kiss that pedicure goodbye.
5. Mountainous callouses that won’t. stop. growing.

Anybody got a wheelchair I can borrow? Or a pair of wheely shoes?
7. Blisters that you’re supposed to ‘avoid popping at all costs.’
It’s cool. I don’t need my feet to walk or anything.
8. Or cramps that creep up on you when you LEAST expect it.

Earth to body? We’re not in high school anymore.
10. Getting heat rash from working out in hot or humid conditions.

Yes, turns out there is a reason men are always grabbing their junk in public. Jock itch people.
14. Large abrasions that somehow take up your entire body …
Why cover this up with gauze, when it lets people know how badass I am?
15. Which, of course turn into colassal-sized scars.
But hey, no pain no gain right?
