I did my second aqua jogging workout tonight.  This time, I didn’t lose a layer of skin from the bottom of my feet.

I wrote about my first ever aqua jogging workout on Monday.  What I neglected to write about on Tuesday, was the damage I did to the soles of my feet.  Aqua jogging after a hour of swimming, in bare feet, is a bad idea. 

My feet were rubbed sore.  Fortunately, I started to feel the soreness at bedtime and rubbed a ton of moisturizing cream onto them.  I think that helped, because three days later, every is good.

Knowing I will be aqua jogging for a couple of weeks, I also made an investment into some pool shoes.  Those attractive shoes in the photo cost me $9.  Yes, you  read that correctly; they were only $9 and were on my doorstep the next day, courtesy of Amazon Prime.  They have got to be the cheapest piece of triathlon training equipment, I have ever bought.

Even better, I can report after tonight’s workout in the pool, that it was $9 well spent.  The shoes worked great.  Now hopefully, they are built well enough to withstand a couple of weeks of abuse…
