It's been less than a day and I very much miss my Gold Peak Zero Sugar tea and Diet Coke (I'm seeing if cutting aspartame from my fiet has a positive effect on some health issues I've been experiencing... fortunately Gold Paek does make unsweetened tea, so I'm not going the very unpleasant full caffeine detox route, though I think I'm noticing that I've reduced my caffeine intake.)
During tonight's walk I once again found myself thinking that walking 2.6 miles away from the car on a path doesn't seem like that big a deal, until you have to turn around and walk the same distance back.
I also realized that walking without socks (which I did last night because of the rain) when it's warm is not a great idea... the rain kept things cool enough last night that I had no issues, but by the time I turned around tonight I had a hot spot on the ball of my left foot that was definitely a developing blister by the time I was done.
