have never been a runner (heart defect - zero long distance endurance since i was a kid). my feet are another weak link. last week someone asked me to come look at a stand of trees (potential hazard issue). they were in a meadow close to a road, so i’m thinking no big deal. then they said they wanted me to look at something else, over half a mile up a steep slope. like a dumbass, i followed them. fucking trail they suggested should be better maintained. was totally unprepared to hike - wearing tall mucking boots, and the next morning i could barely walk. it felt like someone had taken a hammer to my feet.
