Tips for avoiding blisters long distance & hot/sweaty

Tips for avoiding blisters long distance & hot/sweaty

I’ve never really had to deal with blisters up until this point because my feet stay fairly dry but with summer approaching I am beginning to walk in 90+ degree, humid weather and my feet and sweating and therefore blisters are happening rapidly. 😫 What are your tips and tricks?! I applied some anti-chaffing antiperspirant today and it didn’t seem to help.

Can’t wait to walk tomorrow 😆

I’ve rested from a slight injury all day and praying to be back out tomorrow. I can’t wait and am giddy from the excitement. LOL! Walking does wonders for mind, body and soul. Picture from the most beautiful trail with my puppy girl. 🐶 🐾

How has walking changed your life?

I have always loved walking but have never been very consistent at it until recently. I am a Christian and I prayed and asked God for help with my binge eating and PMDD which lead to depression, rage, irritability and weight gain. Shortly after I did, I got an answer. I audibly heard, “all you have to do is walk”. I understand that may seem insane to some but this is what happened. I did not believe this totally until recently when I discovered that walking has a snowball effect. Mental benefits, then craving control, then mood stability, then weight-loss, then even some euphoria. Wow. Is it true? All you have to do is walk? I think so! What have you experienced on your walking journey? I love reading what others have to say because it’s so exciting!!
