I've taken to walking to and from school lately. By lately I mean: this week. I like it - I like feeling like I am getting to know Paris better. I like discovering all the little shops, cafes, chocolateries, trendy bars, high fashion stores. It's good.
I know it takes me about 15 minutes to walk 1 mile. It takes me a bit over 45 minutes to walk to school, which makes it roughly 3 miles. This means that today alone, I walked 6 miles. When I arrived home I was beginning to feel the first tinglings of sprouting blisters on the bottom of my feet, and was surprised. Until I did the calculations and realized - hmmm.. these shoes maybe aren't so cut out for that much walking.
If just to school and back is in the ballpark of 6 miles, that means Erika and I must have walked easily twice that on Monday. Tuesday I walked closer to 4. Wednesday was just the walk *to* school, but not home. So add 3. Then today, 6. So in the last 4 days I have walked roughly 25 miles if my calculations are even close to accurate.
My little Puma's were never meant for this degree of work. I am certain they will not last to the end of July at this rate.
Note to self: money being saved by not buying metro tickets will be used to buy new sneakers.
