Love Filled Shoes

Sorry about getting this to everyone late. Mike and I had a long eight hours yesterday. All I wanted to do was get home, eat our dinner, watch a little T.V. and then crash.

It was a productive day because I was able to get almost three miles of walking in. Though by the end of our eight hours of errands my feet were on fire. I don’t know if my shoes are causing a heat rash on my foot or if it’s just rubbing on the feet. I’ve sent some emails to some fellow walkers and one to my uncle to find out how to prevent it. My uncle has been a runner for years and I’m sure that he’s dealt with this before.

Some of my friends on Sparkpeople suggested putting Vasaline or bee wax salve on my feet and then using cotton walking socks. I’m going to try that tonight when I head out for another walk.

I still have a lot of excitement inside of me today. I’m excited about the possibility of walking for the cure in 2009. I hope they are going to have one in Texas next year. I would like to do the 3 day walk and then spend some time with my sister, brother, and nephew in law.

I’m also excited about watching my measurements and the scale hitting lower numbers. I know that it’s not going to happen in a week but maybe I can see at least a 1 pound loss for the week.

Well Mike and I should get back to the job searching. It’s really, really tough out there. Especially with people who have roadblocks like we do. I know that God will help us find a way around it.

Everyone have a great Tuesday and I’ll see you later tonight to talk about my training today.
