But tired and disappointed.
Tired: I did the full 20 miles in the Walk for Hunger yesterday. But it rained for the first 6-7 miles. Wet shoes + wet socks = hideous blisters, leading to awkward walking to avoid the painful squishing, which taxes the joints and muscles in a new and different way, resulting in much exhaustion the next day. (I'm sure the extra 9 pounds I'm carrying around didn't help either.) So. Very. Tired.
Disappointed: All day long I consoled myself with the knowledge that even though I will be forced to be at work through dinner yet again, I at least will get the purple G2 Gator@de out of the deal. Two dinners in a row with no purple G2 Gator@de = me suffering much disappointment.

A box of rain will ease the pain And love will see you through
About Me
- K @ ourboxofrain
- Greater Boston Area, MA, United States
- P and I got married in the summer of 2005, three years after we got engaged. We started trying to conceive two years later and were incredibly lucky to succeed on the first try. Sadly, it wasn't meant to be, as there was something wrong with the baby's heart and it stopped beating. Miscarriage is super common, but we were still shocked it happened to us. This is our story -- a story of loss, trying again, and life in general.

My goodness! I can't believe you made it twenty miles with blisters. I am very impressed.
You walked 20 miles!! Wow, that is impressive. I couldn't do that on any given day let alone when I'm the p-word.
Hope your feet are feeling better soon.
crap, i can hardly go 20 feet without feeling winded. gotta love the florida heat. good for you!
I am also impressed with the walking that many miles. . . and the fact that you've only gained nine pounds.
wow you make us non-pregnant women look like wimps! Way to go!
