From the "I forgot about that" files, for future reference:
* That little pinching feeling on my little toe? It is probably a blister. I need to remember to take my boots off and apply a bandaid immediately!
* Same goes for that pinching feeling on my instep . . . even if I don't think it's a place a blister SHOULD be, it's still probably a blister!
* Water is good. Drink it.
* Replenishing sodium is important. Do it.
* Warm-downs are VERY important. If you don't do enough you will end up with a thigh cramp in the bath! Painful and hilarious!
* Don't hike in worn-out boots. I'm going to the podiatrist today to hopefully get new insoles (usually this takes a couple of weeks). Once I have them, I will be buying some new boots, as the sole on my pair has worn through.
Despite this list, I had a good time! Yay for walking.
ooh - i'm guessing you are very sore indeed... :(
ReplyDeletesajee has been hobbling around quite gingerly too, but she also had a good time :)
as very sore that evening, but apart from a bit of stiffness and the usual shin splints the day after, i was feeling surprisingly good. in fact, i slept better than i had for weeks!
ReplyDeletei'm glad sajee had a good time, too. we walked so farrrrrr!
