Another Day...76 to go

I'm just back from a walk in the park. I did a 10.4 mile walk and did it in 2:30. That was not my plan though; my plan was to do 13.1 miles and I felt I had it in my grasp. But around mile 8, I began to feel a little pain in my right heel, the beginning symptoms of a blister. So I stopped and tightened up my socks and laces. That helped and then I started feeling my left sock bunching up beneath my toes. OK, it was time to give it up and head back. I will give it a break tomorrow and try again on Monday. Also, I'm throwing away that pair of shoes. They are old and can only get worse; same with the socks.

Of course it wasn't a waste of time...I maintained a 4.19 mph average and that is always a good thing.
