So, my new sneakers are awesome. I didn't realize how much of a difference that would make in my willingness and ability to take walks. (Possibly duh?) But now my feet don't feel tired even after walking for a long time. Thanks to everyone who suggested Marathon Sports - they really are that good and didn't make fun of me for being a walker, not a runner. The sneakers didn't have a breaking-in period, either, at least not that I could tell - they were comfy from the walk home from the store onwards.

I still have the pictures from my "typical walk" and need to upload them. I'll do it soon, I promise. At least, I promise I'll try.
