The Healthy Tales

I realize I’ve been a tad lazy around here.  Ooops!  I keep finding ideas on things to write about and then midnight hits and it is time to go to bed and I haven’t even started a draft.  Tonight though I am up because my feet are killing me.  I went to a friend of mine’s wedding on Saturday and my friend who was driving decided to park in a garage that wasn’t as close to the church as we originally thought.  I can’t remember how many blocks we actually walked but it seemed to be at least 8 city blocks in my 3.5 inch brand new heels with absolutely no padding on the soles.  Talk about some painful and huge blisters.  I am so glad I brought a pair of gladiator sandals with padding along for the ride as I was able to slip into them between the ceremony and the reception.

So why the ouch?  Well, last night Mike and I went to the gym and I did a session of light weights and a little cardio on the eliptical machine.  I thought my feet were in better shape so I decided tonight to jump onto the treadmill for 50 minutes – 25 running, 25 walking – and by the time I got off I think I reaggrevated the blisters on the balls of my feet.  Ouch!  I hope the light pain goes away by morning and I can just go back to light weights and some light cardio on the eliptical tomorrow night.  I need my gym time and these blisters are in my way! LOL.
