The shoes...

Oh yeah & I didn't own a pair of walking shoes, nothing that I could even attempt to walk any distance in. I do have shoes (lots of them...another blog for a another day) but none for exercise or walking. So I started researching shoes...undaunting! Luckily I had a new friend, Jackie, that had just started her after baby exercise journey. Her baby boy is a month older than my baby girl. She was a shoe research maniac so I quizzed her. She gave me all kinds of info. Anyway, finding shoes wasn't fun. I have high arches, narrow heels and an old injury to the metatarsal head/joint (big toe joint). I finally settled on a pair from one of the big box shoe stores. Thought I would try those for a while, then maybe if I stuck with this, I would upgrade.
