Off Ice
So, due to working 12 hour days and driving about 36 miles round trip, I haven't really had the opportunity to skate much. Add to that the fact that my car sounded like a 90 year old man with COPD that I dragged behind me, well, you see what I mean. I also have brand new boots and pain in the bottom of my feet that travels up my legs and makes them go numb. I don't know what the heck that is, but I can only stand the pain for 20 minutes before I have to stop. It's getting better; originally it was 10 minutes. And if I sit down, it gets better.
I wonder if my arches are falling.
I had hoped that by now I would be deep back into skating, but it's the pain that's keeping me away. I'll be wearing my skates around my house this weekend after performing ballet foot exercises, so hopefully that will help. Until that time...
