Yesterday, a friend and I got an hour massage and whirlpool visit that I’d actually purchased back in December (great deal on Groupon!).
It was so relaxing (despite the chatty masseuse).
It was sunny out and I got to wear shorts with the VFFs for the first time.
Had a nice brunch and talked.
Setting off to do my screenwriting for the day, I had my friend drop me off at a coffee shop about a mile and a half from home. This ensured I’d get a walk in despite being relaxed and lazy.
Unfortunately, as I was leaving for home that evening a very strong wind had kicked up and it got very cold. I was getting messages about rain in the area.
So with scary weather imminent (big tree branches were already coming down) and a mile through a not-terrible-but-not-great part of town— me and my giant messenger bag decided to hurry.
Hurrying in new VFFs with a heavy bag is a bad idea.
Started taking longer strides than I should and hitting my heel too much.
By the time I got home I had a sore spot on my heel and my back was aching.
Today I’m quite sore. Feet feel bruised. Back and neck aches.
But, no pain no gain. I wanted to strengthen my feet and this certainly helped.
Today, however, I am wearing nice padded socks and Skechers to let the swelling come down.
Only a couple blocks worth of walking.
Feel silly getting the massage and then beating myself up, but probably no harm done.
