William Brand Posted November 1, 2009 Posted November 1, 2009 Okay...PIP is but a month away. This is the time (not a month from now) to begin training yourself to be on your feet for hours at a time in all kinds of weather. Anyone who has been to PIP will tell you that the time you spend up and about at PIP will wear you out and do the most unpleasant things to your feet, so start walking. Walk a half mile at least every day for this next week. Then walk a mile every day for the week after. By the time PIP rolls around you want to be walking two miles a day at the very least. This conditioning can be the difference between enjoying PIP and sitting about aching far more than necessary. Besides, who doesn't want to be healthier? And get some gel inserts for your shoes.
Red Cat Jenny Posted November 1, 2009 Posted November 1, 2009 As an ex Trade show worker and someone who loooves those long beach walks..I agree William...are ye jellin? Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.... Her reputation was her livelihood. I'm a pirate, love. By nature and by choice! My inner voice sometimes has an accent! My wont? A delicious rip in time...
Commodore Swab Posted November 1, 2009 Posted November 1, 2009 Hmm Perhaps a foot massage at PiP wouldn't be such a bad idea as I happen to know somebody skilled that will be there. . .

Mission Posted November 2, 2009 Posted November 2, 2009 You left out the part about strewing oddly shaped objects around your walking path. (Little chunks of rough concrete should work. In a pinch, a barrel of Tinkertoys might also do the trick.) Mycroft: "My brother has the brain of a scientist or a philosopher, yet he elects to be a detective. What might we deduce about his heart?" John: "I don't know." Mycroft: "Neither do I. But initially he wanted to be a pirate."
Red Cat Jenny Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 LOL....ow Some days even my lucky rocketship underpants won't help.... Her reputation was her livelihood. I'm a pirate, love. By nature and by choice! My inner voice sometimes has an accent! My wont? A delicious rip in time...
Dutchman Posted November 3, 2009 Posted November 3, 2009 tinker toys are too rounded. LEGO's on the floor and half a cup of sand in each shoe. and hide a couple of chunks in you bag to be discovered months later despite all your cleaning

William Brand Posted November 17, 2009 Author Posted November 17, 2009 Bump I'm not kidding. If you aren't logging time on your feet, start today. You have two weeks to get yourself used to a little leg time.
