Step OW step OW step OW step Ow

Thinking I could get a headstart on my exersize regime, I would walk my daughter to school. It is only a mile from our house and I have certainly walked over a mile when I go to Disneyland.

So, we take off on foot. Me and my little girl. She is chattering the whole time....telling me which way to go and if cars are coming and anything she has observed gets verbal attention.

Meanwhile, I am huffing and puffing and dripping with sweat. I am waiting for her to complain about her feet hurting (as she sometimes does at Disneyland), but she is still chattering away.

I'm exhusted and my feet are getting tender. I am panting and wet with persperation. It is getting close to classtime and I put a litte umph in my step so my little girl won't be late. We get there in time for her to line up just outside her classroom door. Whew, that was close!

It took me 18 minutes and change to walk the mile. I call my girlfriend to pick me up after my shift as noon supervisor at the school. To hell with walking home! Especially after standing on my feet for two hours!

That was two days ago. My feet are still killing me as my plantar fasciitis is acting up. My left shin hurts because I have been trying to alleviate the pain in my left heel with exercises. Or it is because of the walking/standing for long periods (shin splints?!). Taking Aleve helps a little, but not much.

Just another reason I am impatient to get the WLS.
