Sexy Walk

Well I found a great place to walk here in Florida. It is in Lakeland. A three mile trail around Lake Hollingsworth. Perfect!

So I pack up my walking clothes in the morning so I can go right after I get out of work before it gets dark. Then when I'm getting ready to leave work I realize I forgot socks. So I decide to just go anyway and do a leisurely walk.

Now, I knew I was wearing "new" shoes and that I was still in my work clothes. But really the shoes were so comfortable I didn't expect to have a problem. I also reasoned with myself that if I felt any pain I could just turn around and head back to the car.

I think you know where this is going. Just a little past the halfway point I felt it. A blister starting on the back of my right heel. Too late to "turn around" I had to keep walking forward. About a 1/4 mile from the parking lot the pain was intense. I tried my best to walk on the ball of my right foot. Almost tippy toed. But not wanting others to see me limping like a lunatic I carefully balance my walk with my other foot. Walking a little slower with each step.

FINALLY! The parking lot! Now just need to make it to my car. The lot was full and cars were coming in waiting for someone to leave so they could park. A truck was following me slowly to match my pace. Eventually he pulled up, put his window down, and inquired as to if I would be getting in one of the cars ahead so he could have my spot. I said I was and that my car was almost at the end.

He continued to follow and then pulled up once again, just as I was nearing my car and said "I just wanted to tell you that you have a very sexy walk."

I laughed out LOUD! Sexy? In the pain I was working through I didn't think my walk looked like anything but ridiculous. HA HA HA!

I looked at him and said "Thank you! I needed that. But really, I was going to let you have the spot even without a compliment."

Made my day, maybe my year.
