Lots of niggling little injuries and my duff knee is playing up at the moment, so I decided to bite the bullet and finally swap my very old work shoes for proper running shoes – oh the lack of style! – to try to limit the damage being done: last week I walked 49km apparently. So I’ve deided that for these more organised walks – walking to and from work if it’s not raining – I’d use the Garmin and and some new all black Nike Free RNs so I could record the mileage and monitor the life of the shoes to change them at probably 640km rather than the 480km of my running shoes. I almost certainly won’t bother with ‘full’ updates like these for the walks though!

Week 43 Day 4 Walk to Work

Week 43 Run Home
Over a month since my last run and still nursing some niggling injuries, so I stopped the run short. Lost two pounds since before my last holiday which is positive as we overate in Malta 
Sliema Harbour 5k
Came back to Malta; back after 54 years! That was a tad warm…
Corralejo 5k
This was a tough one today – hence the changed route – as it was hot and windy (and so was I!).
Corralejo 5.6k – Back After a Break
So nearly 10 weeks after my last run ended in a muscle pull, and after tearing ligaments in my ankle a month ago, this was my first run and a hot one at that. Lots of work to do to get my fitness back up.
Week 26 Day 1 Run Commute
Damn! Making good time when my left calf muscle went (over-compensating from a sore right knee after the weekend).
Week 25 Day 1 Run Commute 5k
Walked to work whilst it was pretty close and slightly spitting with rain, then ran home when it was very close and a lot warmer. Still feeling the effects of the summer cold.
Week 24 Day 1 Run Commute 5k
Very windy and imminent threat of heavy rain plus I’ve come down with (yet another) summer cold. Great! But quite pleased with the run.
Weight is down ½lb since last time…
