Of course, these distances don't account for getting lost and doubling back a few times, avoiding an aggressive herd of heifers or navigating the moors.... or wandering off in search of a pint.

A bit worried.....

I'm starting to worry about my hiking boots.  I've put in over 35 miles and I'm still getting really nasty blisters on my little toes after only 4 miles.  I've wrapped them in bandaids, worn a thin sock under a thick one and still, painful, nasty blisters.  I'm worried that time is running out and these boots aren't going to cut it.

The furthest I've walked in them is about 7 miles.  If I'm getting blisters after only 4...what's gonna happen after 14??  Lauren doesn't seem to be having any problems with hers but then again, she's only walked about 8 miles in hers!
