| Testing out the new shoes - this time with some weight! |
I ended up coming home on Wednesday when Ryan headed back home, so I could test how my achilles tendons might hold up for walking the eastern half of my planned route. A visit to a podiatrist confirmed that the shoes I hiked in simply were too small and bruised my achilles, but a bigger pair of shoes and some heel cushions should allow me to keep on trucking. Luckily the shop where I got fitted for those shoes originally took back the first pair and gave me a larger size for free (I think showing them a gruesome photo of my heels helped)! I will start up again early next week where we left off at New Canton and try to take it a little easy on the miles at first.
This short break has allowed me to catch up on blog entries that I missed earlier.
Scroll down to see new posts and/or photos for May 18, 19, 20, 22, and 24!
Looking forward to showing you more images and stories soon from our great state,
Laurel
