So I have been sick, but I thought that I could get right back out there and pick up right where I left off. Ha!!
So today I decided to wear my "comfortable shoes" as yesterdays shoes were really heavy and made my feet more tired then normal, so I wore my "favorite shoes" hoping that I could maybe do a little more distance. I did my normal wrap and headed out the door. T was just a bundle of joy - another walk - life was grand, so we got in the car and I immediately had to come back in. Nerves - don't ask - there is absolutely nothing in my body, but what little there is my nerves insist on purging. (Okay more then you want to know -)
So by the time we finally get to the lake T has already had three major dances a few songs thrown in for good measure. In other words she worked herself into a frenzy and she was tired. But off we went. Everything was good - real good, I felt light on my feet I felt my energy soaring and I thought I can do this twice - I feel that good.
Then at exactly the 2.4 mile mark - da da dumdum dum dum dum dum dum. Yes my nerves kicked in, and I had to get back to the car immediately - but it didn't matter which way I went I was exactly half way around the lake. Now which way to the car would be faster? I didn't know - it didn't matter so I kept walking the way I had been walking. Anyway that emergency passed and my soles of my feet started to hurt a bit. I knew we weren't doing the lake twice, but I didn't expect feet problems after all the taping and all that I did to protect my poor feet. But the last mile was very painful - but more so was that one legged man who passed me again. I tell you - the last time he passed me I thought how can a one legged man walk faster then a six legged creature? Well I tell you how - I had more blisters on my feet then he could possible have. So there.

SOAK YOUR FEET in epsom salts & cold water daily.
ReplyDeleteIt works - I've done it in an earlier part of my life when I was a soldier.
Daily soaking & you'll even get taller as the blisters turn to calluses.
Soak'em!
