Not so sure what I was thinking there

[yendi]

So I was up early this morning, and was in no mood to run or go to the gym. Since I haven't been eating as well as I should have this week, I also know I've likely gained a pound or two, so needed to do something.

So I walked to work.

Yeah, that's not something I plan to do very often.

That is a highly respectable walk!

Thanks! The real trick was resisting (mostly -- I had a bite) the box of Linda's Donuts that a departing co-worker brought in. I think I was about thirty miles short of the calories needed for eating one of those.

<sigh/> I used to do that all the time. I wonder what kind of damage I'd do to myself if I were to try it now.

Hey, at least your walk home starts out going downhill...

I used to walk home from work rather than to work--mainly so I wouldn't be all gross and sweaty when I got there. It was about the same distance, and the only bit that was rough was usually blisters from friction from walking 4+ miles in one go. Physics is sometimes not our friend!

How long did it take you?

[yendi]

Yeah, it's the blisters that I'm most worried about (not a good thing to get when you're diabetic). Stupid friction.

Maybe ninety minutes? Probably less, since I stopped at Dunkin for some coffee about halfway.

Don't get too worried about that. Unless you've got quite significant nerve damage in your feet, blisters are likely to heal up just the same way they always did (in my experience -- I do not have any significant levels of neuropathy). Noticing they're there in the first place is most of the interest.
