de agony of de feet
We’ve just completed the third quarter of the first year of the Wellness Challenge at the university. If I continue to do as I have been doing, I should end the year in the gold category. This summer on week days, I have no problem at all getting at least 10,000 steps a day with my work at IT Help Desk. One day last month I got over 19,000 steps in the course of my work. The total of my steps for the past nine months is a little over 3,250,000 steps! I should hit 4 million by the end of the first year of the challenge. Sensible walking shoes are a must!
A few weeks ago I got an interesting and at least mildly disturbing e-mail with pictures of some current and past shoe fashion rages in Japan.

Advanced age does not seem to be the only reason for her difficulty in walking.
This woman was apparently one of those who practiced foot binding.

Feel better now about your feet? Ugly feet aren’t found only in Asia, huh?

It appears that the eggs have now hatched. They’re at that oxymoronic stage - pretty ugly! Here’s a picture I took this evening….
