Took my girls on an overnight hike on the approach trail for the Appalachian Trail this weekend. With side trips to the Len Foote Hike Inn I figure it was about 7 miles day 1, 6.5 miles day 2. Not a really tough hike but a decent workout and gear shakedown. My elliptical at home actually seemed to have me in decent shape.
I did discover that the inserts I used for my Plantar Fasciitis changed the fit of my boot enough that it caused heel blisters, a problem I've never had with my boots. I was also reminded why you need to treat hot spots before they turn into blisters!
