I was just starting to feel like motivation was on my side. I was excited about utilizing the walking path that passes just behind our apartment, and was looking forward to getting out for the daily exercise that I've been missing since we moved.
That is...until Sunday.
We were up insanely early (due to an apartment malfunction), so I took advantage of the extra time and cool morning temperatures to take Mia for a walk, while Ben waited for the maintenance man to arrive.
So, out we went, adopting a brisk pace, feeling good, when suddenly, I felt a tingle in my toe...the kind of tingle that can only mean one thing...a blister.
Unfortunately, by the time I turned around and got back to our apartment, I was feeling identical tingles in both feet...yes, 2 rather large blisters had managed to appear over the course of about 30 minutes.
Blisters are definitely no fun, especially when they break open (which one of mine did). So, I'll be taking a few days to keep them wrapped and hopefully let them heal before I head back out to resume my walking schedule.
In the meantime, I'll probably pull the stationary bike out of the guest room and begin pedaling my way to fitness (assuming the bike doesn't irritate the blisters the way walking seems to).
Minor adjustments...but I'm trying to keep my motivation!!!
Go rinnie!!!!!
