Well I missed day ten, for a mixture of work and family reasons, but still walked 5km to the fair ground and back!
Twenty one days of running in ‘barefoot’ shoes. I doubt I need to explain the concept with all the publicity these days, but I’m very much enjoying it. Yes I’ve started short and slow, and no I won’t be running marathons any time soon, but my daily three to five kilometres are more than enough for now to keep me motivated… and I can fit them in around work and family time. On work days I usually stop somewhere on the way home to run, and so far, almost all of the runs so far have been different routes, which also helps to keep it interesting despite the short distances. Although I will repeat routes to track progress further down the line.
It’s great to have the routine of daily exercise again, I’m also doing fifteen minutes of online German lessons every day… let’s see if I can squeeze in a daily writing session too.
