Making the Internet My Accountability Partner

Today marks the 108th anniversary of the day President Woodrow Wilson signed the law that created the National Park Service. What better way to celebrate than to visit a National Park? As a fan of hiking, I’m always looking for any opportunity to get outdoors and this should have been a perfect excuse. However, today will be a day of rest for me.

Yesterday I got dressed up to go on a date and originally that outfit included my only pair of heels, which are very comfy. However, I just so happened to get the heel caught in a crack in the sidewalk and I landed hard. As you can see in the featured image my knees are scraped up pretty badly and I also have some minor scrapes on top of both my feet. Additionally, the flats I brought just in case were not as conducive to the amount of walking we would do as I thought they would be. This second poor decision lead to massive blisters on my feet.

It could be a little while before I feel up to significant exercise. However, I already have a planned trip to Montreal soon and I will need to be comfortable walking for long portions of the day. I was hoping some of you could provide some advice on the best ways to heal my scrapes and blisters so I’m back up and ready for adventure.
