It Only Hurts When I Walk

My new snowshoes weren't the only thing that I was breaking in on the trail yesterday. It was also the first time that I had worn my new boots hiking. I was hoping that wearing them day in and day out for the last month would have broken them in already. Alas, I was mistaken. Over the course of the two hour hike, I managed to rub off a significant portion of the skin on the back of each of my heels.



It probably goes without saying that I didn't get back out hiking today like I mentioned that I probably would in yesterday's post. Actually, I guess that it doesn't go without saying, considering that last night I told Master Fob that I was going to just suck it up today, tape up my ankles and head back out on the trail. I'm glad that I came to my senses. Even just the incidental walking around that I did today while I was grocery shopping nearly brought me to tears with every step.
