Still excercising and lots of walking.

Zig Zag

Stepos, steep set into hillside, path called The Zig Zag.

Steep slope back. Fantastic views over town and sea, island beyond.

Still walking a lot. Other excs too.

Still going strong, walking and excercises

February

Wanting to tackle my severe insomnia this month as well as continue to improve fitness.

Gone back to the staircase (walk or run up and down) excercises as well as long walks (weather permitting). Been doing it all week starting from last Sunday night when I did 20 sets of walking up and down.

Today

20 x walk
10 x run

Back on track

Walking and lots of excercising. Cutting down dramatically on yeast products has made a big difference.

Chiropodist

Toes hurting again. Forgot to post before that saw a chiropodist x 2 some months back after seeing DR who told me to go there. Possible osteo in big toe - given excs - painful to do. May need to start doing them again.

Or it's the way I sit at the computer, noticed that my toes are bent up against the panel on the inside of the desk - must stop doing that and see if it makes a difference.

Dolebury Warren/Rowberrow

Woodland walk through Rowberry Forest
Steep rocky paths as short cut
Steep timber logs = 176 stairs to top of Dolebury Warren

Back to staircase running.

Normal walking.

Back to normal

Feet recovered. Lapsed with fitness lately.

Saw a news article, young teenage boy jumping between roofs 40 fts up, unfortunately fell down. Luckily had a mate with him to call for help. Lots of online discussions about that accident.

Slow progress

Feet were causing a lot of problems lately, so excercise has been intermittent, continued with walking.

Causes
* inside of trainer sandals - reaction with bare feet, much better with insoles
*toenail cutting - too short - ingrowing.
*Had blood test in case another problem - no results so far
* feet get too hot - pain
* not flexible enough for steep slopes - need to do specific excercises

Very active lately, motivated, lots of walking, excercising and more.

Very tired by the end of the week.

For the last few months doing less walking than before due to foot problems and been very negligent with the excercising which would have made it better.

Suddenly got a lot of motivation so it's onwards and upwards.

Just walking and normal excs lately. Keep forgetting about the staircase running pressups etc.

New Routine

Started back on the stair running plus other excercises - twice daily

1. running up and downstairs 8 times
2. press ups against the stairs
3. running on the spot, arms up and down stretched out at sides
4. weights (cans etc)
5. REPEAT

Floor- back excers. Yoga. Sit ups. Aerobic style exc standing up.

Hope to get the stair running sets going up as the weeks progress

Very long walks - 3 consecutive days, shorter walks on other days

New Year, new resolutions

One resolution I am going to try to keep up with starting next week is physio excs x 2 daily. I've lapsed completely over the holidays.

Starting the hard walks next Wednesday as I took over 2 weeks off my walking job and putting it mildly I'm dreading it as my feet have been playing up. I think it was down to the last lot of physio recommended (hamstrings using elastic band) in combination with some extremely steep terrain, plus chilblains in the toes.

Thanks Zak for your message, appreciate it. For some reason whenever I try commenting on other people's blogs not sure if it's my computer or what but my message is never posted as it keeps saying my passwords are incorrect.

2 weeks off over Xmas

Kept up progress, steep slopes, lots excercise. Need to keep active over the holidays.

Lodge Lane

Walked a very long way from my house to Lodge Lane (and further) this week on 3 consecutive days - and lived! First day feet killing me and had to return via 3 muddy fields. Days 2 and 3 walked a different route and felt better. Much fitter.

On Saturday I saw some youngish teens attempt parkour outside the library. Must have been total beginners. I had to restrain myself from giving my worldly wisdom.

stairs and hills

Wasn't even that tired after over 2-3 hrs steep stairs and hills each day this week, surprise as last week I was exhausted walking on the flat. New exc from the physio.

November

Very active, much walking, excercises.
Physio exc causing a lot of pain back of legs

Solved the mystery of red feet - the new sandals I've been using with bare feet and excercise.
