Day 2

Well I did something after school that I have not done in a very very long time .......... I ran!!!! and the best news is the achilles didn't hurt at all. Admittedly it was not over a great distance but it was still a run. 10 laps of the school field turns out to be just over 2 miles but 2 miles pain free is better than walking 10 meters and feeling every step which has been the case in the last 2 months.

However, this isn't the whole story as I did run longer than this as I played football with the school team straight after school and according to my Garmin covered a distance of just under 2 miles. Now this was a lot tougher on the old lungs as it was stop, start, change direction, go back again, forward, backward etc. (isn't go back the same as backward?????)

Like that old proverb states: each long journey but first be started with a small step.

Weighed myself today a humungus 78 kg which means I need to loose a lot before Austria.
