Blisters

Everyone knows that good walking shoes are a MUST. My walking shoes have been well worn in. I've had them as my indoor exercise shoes for a few years. A few months ago they became my walking shoes as I began walking on a regular basis.
Just this last week I decided to add my ankle and hand weights. Does this change how my shoes rub on my feet? It must. That is all I can figure. All last week and now this week I am getting blisters on my feet.
I keep trying new things to alleviate the problem. I'm wearing longer socks and folding them over for extra protection. I changed to different ankle weights. Today I even used a fancy bandaid padding that only moved to a different place on my foot. I have another huge blister today.
Could I be walking funny? I just don't know what is causing this. Strange to walk for weeks without any problems and then begin getting blisters.
How do I allow the blisters to heal while continuing in my walking routine. Certainly breaking in new shoes cannot be the right answer for this. What do you think?

The beginning of a new


Yes, I'm finally blogging! I've contemplated for a while and am finally giving into the blog side. Thanks to all of you who have encouraged and help me!
My hope for this blog is to keep y'all updated with the happenings of the family. I do admit that the urgency to become blog savvy has come mostly due to knowing that my oldest will be leaving home soon. I have great plans of uploading pictures and updates from him right in this very spot!
I also hope that many of you will feel the need to keep me updated of the events in your families. Many of you already do and have been an inspiration to get me started.
As you may well know, I love help (maybe that's why my children are great helpers). I'm counting on your help to keep me motivated by commenting lots. Let me know what you would like to hear/see more of. Please don't be shy.
