Today was day 2 of long walks, popularly known as "back-to-back's". Yesterday was an 11 mile walk and today was 9. I honestly didn't feel that badly after yesterday's walk, but WOW is today a different story. Both days, I was definitely at a slower pace, likely due to being sick all last week. I am usually not the one in the back of the pack, but yesterday and today.....well, that was ME! Yesterday, I felt a "hot spot" or pre-blister on my right foot. So today I made sure it was bandaged and I also used Glide all over my feet. Glide is kind of like vaseline and comes in a deoderant-like stick form. You use it to reduce friction on spots that are rubbing. I got through the walk, but the tops of my feet are still aching, 2 hours later. I limped out of the car and into the house when I got home.
And then, the thought strikes me.........we will be walking the route of yesterday and today COMBINED for 3 days straight in just a few months. Yowza!!! I am feeling a little freaked out about that now. But when I signed on to Facebook an hour ago, one of my friends had posted this video.

Talk about good timing! I don't think I could make it on to the sink right now. Maybe tomorrow.
