I Fought the Snow...
and the - snow won. I fought the snow and the - snow won.
Continuing my walks, currently in St. Louis Park, I decided to take on the light snowstorm and do about 8 miles while listening to the Northern Alliance Radio Network this afternoon. I put on the long underwear, stocking cap, etc, and then laced up my heavy duty Sorel boots.
I now know why good athletic shoes matter. About halfway, I became aware that I was growing a couple of nice blisters on my feet. I changed my style, curling my toes, trying to favor my heels, but by the end I was probably down to half speed or less. I was glad to get back to my car without calling a cab on my cell phone, but the damage was done.
I am also now acutely aware how much nicer my old shag carpet feels in my home office. I'm planning on finally replacing it soon, and I'm going to make sure it feels good on the footsies.
