Catch-Up

I'm sorry I've been out of touch. I hope you all received my email from yesterday.

So, my new treadmill came last Friday and it has been a wonderful thing for those required walks on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I walked 5 miles last night - no blister issues, just some slight inflammation in the knees which went away after I stretched and started to relax. This morning, I feel great. My old shoes seem to be working well but I would like to try and get a second pair - any news on a possible team fitting? The socks I bought along with Maria feel great on my feet but they are thick so I've been training with a second pair of Nike socks that I've had forever and they seem to be working just as well. I agree that walking outside vs. walking on the treadmill is completely different. I seem to have more symptoms of things - knees, hot feet, etc. when I walk on the treadmill. I'm hoping for warm, sunny weather this weekend so we can complete our 11 miles is it?

In response to the "hot spots" - this is what I would do - which doesn't really mean much but here it is anyway: I would put Campho-Phenique on it and let your feet get some air. Then when you're ready to walk, I would put one of those small circular Band-Aids just in that spot. My thinking was it would provide a barrier on the hot spot without impeding your toe with a big heavy Band-Aid. Thoughts?

Maria - I'd like to call Beef O'Brady's today and see which date in June they may have available. You mentioned a class reunion on one of those Saturday's...can you remind me which one? I think it may have been in our dinner meeting notes - I'll look back at that as well.

Hope everyone is well - have a great weekend!
