Looks like we have a whole bunch of foot gimpy's in here!
I survived my swim lesson
I learned to get in and out of the pool, walk, sort of back float, kick on the side of the pool and starting kickboard. That was 45 mins (supposed to be 30) and then I stayed another 45 on my own to practice.
I stand in complete awe of Jennifer. On the drive home I wanted a nap right then and there. Or a banana. Both actually. I is tuckered.
My tiny beach walk this morning went for 1 mile without twingeing (sp?), but I took the exit anyway to be prudent and save some for the pool. It went well.
This ankle business has me thinking. I figured out the what, so I have been thinking about the how/why. It's possible I am guilty of over tightening my shoelaces. That is something that can cause this problem. About three weeks ago my (4 month old) old shoes developed an issue that had me sending them back for an exchange. Thank you Zappos. Having brand new ones I was cinching them down good and tight.
I think I may try something. Since I will be starting at a gym soon and will need shoes for that, I think I will try to de-sand these since they are practically new and repurpose them to gym shoes. Then for the beach, these same shoes are available in a mid-high; I will get those for the beach for the added ankle support since I now have a weak link. I know these are great shoes out there, it is my 3rd pair in 3 years. The sand kills regular cross trainers at a rate of about 1 a month so I use a 'light hiker' which is just a beefed up cross trainer with a vibram sole that can take it. They are also a brand that I can 'gut' and put in my own custom inserts and light pads.
Okay, what is 'Frenching weights'? It sounds nasty.
