Good Shoes- Finally!

So i got some better walking sneakers at Brown's, and they've been working out great, although the first day I did get this bizzaro blister on the bottom of my toe, between the toe pad and my foot. Couldn't figure it out, because it doesn't seem like that part would rub on anything, unless: it was smashed down, my socks were schrunched up, or there was some raised part inside the shoe. Haven't figured that out yet, but after a day off yesterday for rain, I wore them again today and seem to be fine. Nice and cushy New Balance, with all sorts of spiffy walkhappy features. good stuff. D is going to be out of town next week though, so we'll see how well I do on my own. It's that other person that gives that extra little push to get out of bed in the morning. Once I'm up and walking I feel great, and feel great the whole rest of the day, but those 10 or 15 min before getting out of bed are kinda painful.

S rode her bike today, so maybe I can get mine fixed this weekend, and try riding with her while D is gone... I've been wanting to get it fixed anyway, with the hope of walking it to work in the morning, and riding it home afterwards. Seems like a plan... gotta figure out the lunch thing though. But it's all worth the total lift in attitude and outlook a little exercise brings. It's really lifted quite a lot of depression!!
