5/19/07 - Blister #3

In an effort to protect my healing Blister #2, I put a band-aid over it, followed by an ace bandage... unfortunately the ace bandage led to blister #3 above.

It's small in comparison to the first two and not yet painful. The worst part of it is that I brought it on myself by protecting blister #2!

Time to buy some Epson Salts...

On the plus side, while walking with D.S. and L.M. on the towpath we spotted some bald eagle nests and even one eagle perched in a tree. So not only am I raising money for a great cause but I am also discovering nature at it's finest in little ol' Cleveland, Ohio!

5/17/07 - Blister #2

I got new shoes and they are great... and evil. In trying to find "good" shoes for my feet I learned that I have one foot larger than the other, which isn't uncommon. But what it means for me is either one shoe is tight or one shoe is loose. I decided to go with a smaller pair but my right foot still slips a little.

Hence this post... and blister #2. This one was a oozy doozy! You're lucky I don't have pictures of it at it's peak. Above is a picture of it healing nicely.

I decided to walk through the pain on this one. Unlike the first one, this popped and it was the healing/scabbing that was an issue. But I knew I needed to Cowboy-Up and walk through the pain...
