Holy blisters batman.  They do NOT feel good.  In fact, they feel TERRIBLE, and are more painful than my shin ever was.  I can barely put weight on my right foot right now, I must get some mole skin or some other magic potion tomorrow.

Took Cooper on a .7 mile walk, was going to be more but then we found a stray dog and were trying to figure out what to do, but then it escaped from our back yard and I saw another lady took over the responsibility, SCORE!  Then I walked 4.3 miles on the treadmill while watching The Amazing Race, alternating every .25 between 4% incline and 12% incline - 12% is a serious workout!

I found a stray last week that seemed to have current tags (2011), but when I called the number, that number no longer was in service. I ended up just leaving it, and I think my neighbor took over the responsibility.
