You guys will understand!

I have a tale of woe.  I must share because you guys are the only ones who will understand.

In November I stopped walking.   You know how this goes ...

walking every day,

feeling good,

 feeling energetic,

 ready to attack life.

Normal response for a logical, intelligent, enthusiastic person in this situation ... ?

Quit walking, of course.  

OK, not normal or intelligent, but it is what happened.

Now, today I took my first walk in 5 months.  Here is the blow-by-blow of how it went.

• Stepped out the door in my new expensive walk/run shoes. 

(Yeah!)

• Plugged in my new audio book to keep me company. 

(Double Yeah!)

• Weather ideal. Cool, clear, perfect.

• 100 steps out, my left big toe joint began to hurt. 

(Toes in obvious shock!)

• 10 minutes later the toe pain stopped. 

(Toes finally noticed the new expensive new shoes.)

• Left heel pain starts.

  (Really?

Heel pain in my $150 dollar shoes

 and my $400 prescription orthotics??

 Seriously???)

• Pain resolves in about 5 minutes. 

(I should think so!!)

• Nose starts to run.  Allergies.  But I am prepared. I have tissues.

• Tissues have blood in them. I have a nose bleed.  

(Is this a joke?)

• Headed back home.  Walking in the front door, the toe is fine, the heel is fine and my nose bleed dries up. 

(Good, because I was out of tissues.)

I can hardly wait for tomorrow!

I have lots more body parts that don't want to cooperate.  

PS - Not blogging.  Just sharing.
