My blisters are back! I decided to get back on track with my walking now that the three older kids are in Alaska with their grandparents for the summer. I did 12 miles this week. My goal was 15. On Wednesday, I decided to do six miles. Three miles I did during lunch and the other three I did at Greenlake. Being the absolutely brillant person that I am, I decided to wear ankles socks. Hey, my Reetones are paded. I didn't even think about the affect the ankle socks would have on my heels after walking six miles. I ended up with two big blisters on my heels. After I put the babies down for the night, I decided to take a nice hot bath. Surveying the damage done to my precious heels, I decide to make an epic, yet disastrous, decision. I popped the blisters......YEA!! BRILLANT, HUH???!!! As you can tell, this story has not ended well. I have been walking around like I have a stick up my ass because my heels are KILLING me! I managed to walk three miles yesterday. But I did not make the planned trip for the other three miles at Greenlake. And I will be passing on my minimium three miles today. I will be giving my poor heels a break this weekend. Hopefully my heels and I will be recovered enough to start walking again on Monday. But I have learned two BIG BIG lessons from this:
- NO ANKLE SOCKS
- DO NOT POP BLISTERS UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES FOR ANY REASON
