More Sneaker Surgery
This morning I went swimming for 30 minutes (half pulling and half “normal” swimming) and walked about three miles. The walking wasn’t planned. I didn’t realize how early the no parking restrictions around the school/pool went into effect and since I overslept I had to park far away-and had to make the trip to my car twice since I left my keys at the pool. Fun times at 7:30 in the morning.
Also, Staples sells ink cartridges. There is a Staples right next to my gym. I am at the gym a lot. My printer ran out of ink the night before my final paper is due. If the ink ran out ANY OTHER TIME I could have gotten ink in the next time I was at the gym. Which leads to my trip this morning through rush hour traffic to Staples/the gym, when I am not going to workout, and where I will probably be every other day this week. Naturally.
I have to return the sneakers I got. They are too big and my orthotics slip around in them. I am going back Tuesday afternoon and hopefully someone different will be working who can help me. To compensate, so I can still run/walk tomorrow morning, I cut an even larger section of my current sneakers. This is getting ridiculous. Here is the sneaker. Chelle has the pre-cut picture of her sneaker on her blog so I will give the post-cut picture. (Of note is I think her sneaker surgery took place on the part of the shoe closest to the big toe and mine is on the part closest to the small toe.) I tried not to cut all the way through the fabric. Instead, I cut through some of the “overlay part” that crosses over the shoe and the outermost, most restrictive layer of the mesh. I used scissors and a Ginsu knife.

Oooh, sneaker surgery. :) Hey, whatever you need to do to save the feet, right? Hope you can find a good pair when you go back.

Heck, you don't need to marry an orthopedic surgeon (lovingly known as orthopods in our hospital), you could just be one yourself! :)
