I took my second walk today. I needed to go to the post office and mail something and pick up my mail. So I got up early (before the post office got busy), put Lucky's harness on and we took a walk. She was so excited. I was less so since my one shin had the beginnings of shin splints. I stretched but alas it didn't make a difference. I now have shin splints in both shins. I stretched all day to see if it got better. I'll probably take a bath in the morning.
I tend to get shin splints easily since I was a kid. I made a mistake when I was a teen. I had shin splints and I decided to go ahead and run a race anyway. Now I get shin splints pretty easily. Young and dumb. Just one of many things I did as a youngster that I am paying for as an adult.
I made Oven-Baked Beetroot Chips Made without Oil today. Basically I cleaned and washed the fresh beets. Then I used a mandolin to slice them thin. Then I added salt and spices and let them sit for 15 minutes. Then I baked them for 25 minutes. They came out slightly crispy. Not like potato chips from a bag. They are very tasty and I like them.
I managed to do this all without getting any beet juice on my white counters. That was the best part!
Until tomorrow...
