I have been laying off of the heavy hiking/walking since I did seven miles at the Indiana Dunes State Park on Saturday. I was hiking along the shoreline with one of my dogs and my right boot got wet. Needless to say I have a blister just behind the ball of my foot. This is probably the largest single blister I have ever had. It measures well over a quarter in diameter!
I laid off of walking yesterday only doing one mile from the train to the office and another mile at lunch. Today however, I did my mile in the morning to the office and did four miles with Pepper this evening. I thought that I would not have a problem, but I thought wrong. The entire last mile and a half it felt like my right foot was on fire. The pain was from the ball off my foot and going back through my arch almost to my heel.
Needless to say I will probably take it a little bit easier the next couple of days. Also, I will probably start wearing my Brooks running shoes on pavement to see if they will not give me problems. I have been wearing my RedWing hiking boots for the last couple of weeks. So maybe the change will do me good.
