Earthmovers and Sandcastles

We’re in Madison! Walked around downtown quite a bit yesterday - or perhaps it just felt like that because of the crutches. I now have huge blisters on both my palms. I’m not sure which appeals less to me: using the crutches again today, or hobbling on the sore foot. Of course, I’ll use the crutches, but oh, do I wish there was a third option. I do have the athletic tape; maybe I can rig up something so that my hands and blisters are more protected. Should have brought my weight-lifting gloves. On the other hand, this sure is giving me good upper-body workouts; my shirt was damp with sweat by the time we hit the car to come home last night, and it wasn’t a hot day. Very glad that I’ve lost the weight and done strength training, or this would be much harder.

Anyway, more sight-seeing today. There’s a cave Eric wants to go see! The boys really just want to swim, but since we’ll be doing a ton of that when we get to the Dells, I’m trying to put it off. I did pick up a swim cap yesterday, trying to protect my scalp a bit. There’s a running/triathlon store right by our hotel, and I stopped in there (it’s where I got the cap) and chatted with the guy for a bit. He thought most people he knew who had peroneal tendinitis had about three weeks off, but he also felt like I wouldn’t have to start back as far as I feared I would in my training when I get the go-ahead. Fingers crossed!

Sam wants me off so he can update his weblog now. Anybody have any idea why, when people hit “submit” for comments on his site, they get redirected to my main page?! I’m lost. I did remove the “must register” option on there, though; was trying to protect him from spam, but it was proving headachy for people.
