Warm weather walking...a feat for the feet lol

Summer is finally here...for today at least lol...so i decided to go walking early this morning...after putting Zacy on the bus and cleaning the house and making the beds lol.

So I ended up leaving at around 10:00 ish...it was still a little breezy but i didn't need a wind breaker but absolutely needed a hat. I brought my water bottle with me and that turned out to be more of a bother than anything else. The main issue was where to put the bottle!? holding it gets long on the tooth and you feel total off balance because there's the issue of the weight on one side only. So every now and then I would switch the bottle from hand to hand. Should of brought two bottles lol...at least i would of been balanced.

Finally I got fed up with the whole thing and just tucked it in the back of my pants. Now I know why they sell the bottle belts! The weather and the walk was absolutely glorious. I walked 5km this morning watching mallard ducks nesting and some muskrat love lol.

My second issue that I'm presently dealing with is burning feet. I believe it's because my sneakers are too loose. I wear two pairs of socks and tighten my shoes before I leave but they are still burning.
Since losing weight my feet have become smaller or actually going back to normal size which was 8 - 8 1/2. For the past 15 yrs they've been a size 9 ....after the birth of Eric my feet started swelling.

So it's time for new walking shoes. I'm going to a specialized store that Anne told me about behind Fairview. I can't fool around with this.

I started Zumba!! I love it!! I just can't get over how klutzy I am. I thought i was a pretty good dancer....after doing the 20 minute express Zumba work out I can safely say I suck big time! lol but it was fun and what a sweat!!

Dr. Oz says that we should do a high impact type of exercises for a total of 60 minutes per week...so I decided to do 3 x 20 minute Zumba workout per week. Along with this is my daily walks and weight lifting and yoga.

My sciatic is still acting up but stretching it out and ignoring it is helping. What I have now is a type of hard stem splinter that embedded in my shin on Saturday. I thought i got it all out and I even dug in it with a needle to try to get the rest out but now it's hurting a bit. GROSS. It had puss in it aswell and i squeezed it all out and put polysporin on it. If this continues to get worse I will have to go to the hospital and get them to dig it out...Im not looking forward for that!

Frank wants to go for a walk to night so another3.5 to 5km walk tonight....life is good! :)
