I figured it was no coincidence when I found a Groupon for a 1-hour massage, a 1-hour facial and a Pedicure at Renaissance Health Center for Natural Medicine. It was practically screaming at me, "Buy me to complete #52!"
And what a better time to schedule a spa day for myself than the week after completing my big race. My whole body needed that massage and my feet needed some TLC for sure.
The Friday after my 1/2 marathon, I took the afternoon off, and drove out to Gresham to Renaissance Health Center. First I had my facial, then my pedicure and finally, my massage. The whole experience was a-maz-ing! Everyone should have a spa day at least once. I would do it once a month if I could... but only if I had a Groupon every single time.
I do have to say that part of me was slightly disappointed that I didn't get to wear a huge fluffy white robe, an avocado mask and cucumbers over my eyelids but I guess those are only the spa days you see in the movies.
Regardless of my Hollywood-like expectations, it was still a good experience, and I felt like I deserved the pampering after putting so much physical effort into my training for the last few months.
