Every time I sit down and try to compose a blog post, I draw a blank. Try as I may I can think of nothing to say. The words are just not there, the rhythm and the flow that make writing enjoyable. I have decided to put all of that aside and try to trundle on with nothing more for inspiration than my desire to create.
I walked 4 miles on the Kokosing Gap Trail yesterday. It was a perfect day for walking, the sun was shining and the temperature, though cool, was warm enough to keep me outside and moving. I broke no land speed records with my 23 min. miles but I met my goal of 4 miles and I am happy with myself. Given the time, most days I can walk anywhere from 3-5 miles with blisters on my feet being the only hindrance. I have discovered that wool socks minimize the chances of getting blisters and I am hooked them and no longer interested in any other sock. Time to order new socks mine are thread bear and giving me blisters. The only thing I know to do about blisters is to use alcohol to dry them out and tape them over with moleskin to prevent further irritation.
November. I'm not ready for it to be November. In the natural flow of things November is the beginning of the end of the year. My internal clock is still set somewhere in August. No, I am definitely not ready for November.
And there you have it. A post, albeit a little scatterbrained but a post nonetheless. Now I believe I will go douse my blisters with alcohol and then I will call it a night. I want to get in another 4 miles in the morning.
There is always hope.
