These shoes are made for.....

363 days to go.....
235 lbs ish....still

Still riding high off of Saturday's walk.
Took the baby out for a walk around the lake behind the house this morning, with my fancy little running app, Runtastic.

I was feeling great,cruising along,trying not to get lapped by all the little old Chinese seniors, when BOOM. Giant blister on my left foot.

Lefty was already feeling a bit abused,as I am nursing another blister from Saturday's walk,so by the time I got home, I was using my stroller as a full on walker.

Now here's some history for you....
I have what I like to call 'hamburger feet'.
I got this handle from work,when I would wear heavy work boots and tromp around for kms a day in a live rail yard for 8 hours.

By the time I was done everyday, I had a new crop of blisters,usually on top of the old ones.
Didn't matter what I did, what kind of boots I wore, how I treated the blisters, still my feet looked like hamburger at the end of my shift.

However, put my feet in a ridiculously high pair of heels and ask me to go dancing, and look out. I will outlast anyone.

Weird right?

Anyhoo, now I have to invest some cash in serious running shoes so I don't mess up my feet.

Feck.

Also thinking I should probably drop some tonnage before I try to run, so I don't cause any seismic activity in my neighborhood.

Maybe some hot yoga would do the trick.....

Btw it only took me 30 mins to walk the 2.5kms around the lake. Yeah me!
