Hello! Well, as it happens I got FANCY walking shoes tonight with my REI member coupon. Waterproof Ahnu hikers. Teal green! Yes, I do use inserts. But right now my foot needs to be pretty much immobilized in the shoe so most of my boots, sandals or ballet flats are just too flexible & thin soled even with an orthotic. ~sighs~
I'm taking it easy this week. No extra dance classes, lower walking mileage. Feeling a little run down & want to be in tip top hiking condition for next week when I meet my husband in Dallas & drive the rest of the way home with him. He's packing up his fiat & leaving DC on Saturday. He'll pick me up Sunday night & we'll have three days to reach Northern California. All I want to do is stop to hike 2-3 times a day & eat my fill of southwestern cuisine. Shouldn't be hard, right? LOL
11,977 steps today, 5.1 miles. Breaking in the new shoes.

Nice shoes! You should see mine, there is no grip left I have to get new ones before winter officially hits or I will be on my *kitten*.

Managed to squeeze in a healthy 4.5 miles today. I've been trying to walk to work (roughly 2 miles each way) but the weather has been dreary. Too much rain!

Very nice! That reminds me that I have some shoes and boots in my Amazon cart. The Asolo boots I have now have been with me for quite a few years now and have been on plenty of adventures. They're still in good shape and are tough as nails but the padding on the inside is starting to give up the ghost. I love buying from Amazon or Sierra Trading Post because you can get discontinued items for great prices but you also never really know how they're going to fit until you get them at home.

If you get snow and ice, a pair of Yaktrax are pretty much a must-have. You can run across glare ice.

I carry a pedometer all day, so I'll be posting all my walking and dancing for the day.

Love those mittens!

Lol @scolaris I know how you feel although I'm not going on vacation...my middle child sneezed in my face yesterday (I felt the spray) and he's sick today....it is going to happen I know it as well. Ice your ankle and Advil and you should be good as new! Hand sanitizer is in order when you work with kids!

Very windy and pretty cold out today but I was still able to knock out 6.5 miles. I think this weekend would be a good time to go out and find myself a good pair of mittens.
