First walk for 3 days 😐

[Instructor57]

Well if it's not one thing it's another !Today was back to my 40 minute walks

It's the first one for 3 days as unfortunately I have been suffering with plantar Fasciitis.

I have had this before but it was about 3.5 years ago before I started running.

It came on when I upped my walking but disappeared again a month or so later so fingers crossed it disappears again 🤞

The problem is if I don't walk or keep moving then I get lower back issues also ! (That's a whole new story in itself) 😐🤔🥺

So it sometimes feels as though I can't win .

Anyway, my foot was much better (but not 100%) so decided to try my walk ,

It was up past the village church then down towards the main road, turn around and back again .

It was quite warm and the walk was fine , infact I'm probably getting around it a little quicker each time , or should I say getting a little further.

The picture of course is the village church .

I do actually have a link to some drone footage I took of the church , I won't post the link here but if anyone wants to see it let me know and I'll pm the link .

Ok, lunch time 🙂

On no! Your poor foot 🦶. And back. Hopefully your foot was ok on your walk overall, it looks beautiful out where you are. And that’s great you’re getting round a little bit faster each time. Spring’s definitely in the air today 🌼🌼🌼.

[Instructor57 in reply to Frenc]

Thanks Kate !Yes, foot (and back) ok ish 😐

Can tell I've done a walk though!

Yes, a nice area tbh , fairly quiet with some nice local places .

The weather certainly helped today 🙂

You have been through the mill, it was a lovely day to get out for a walk

[Instructor57 in reply to SueAppleRun]

Yes, as have you !But we will get there 🙂👍

[SueAppleRun in reply to Instructor57]

Apart from COVID mines not health and yes we will It's strange learning that I can do things for myself

[Oldfloss]

This is great to see.... out there in the sunshine...hopefully the back will be okay and the plantar fasciitis, has eased.

It sounds as if you enjoyed it and just the act of getting out there again after a few days off will lift you even more!

Well done you... heading to the running track soon x

[Instructor57 in reply to Oldfloss]

Thanks, and yes my back tends to be better when I keep moving .And your right !

I needed to get out again 🙂 x

[Oldfloss in reply to Instructor57]

Keep moving, but take care of yourself too... the right balance.. I know you know what you are doing x

[Instructor57 in reply to Oldfloss]

Yes, tricky getting the right balance sometimes 😐 x

[Oldfloss in reply to Instructor57]

Tell me ! But... we manage to stay... ( gulp) sensible! x

Sorry to hear about your plantar fasciitis. You absolutely don’t need that right now! Really hope it settles soon. Great photo of the church. It looks like a lovely building.

Hopefully it was a nice lunch and some time enjoying the sunshine. It’s been nice here today too and it really does help the mood when it’s brighter outside ☀️

[Oldfloss in reply to MissUnderstanding]

I've told him we will be keeping an eye on him :)🤣

[Instructor57 in reply to MissUnderstanding]

Thank you, I know, foot hurts when I do move ,,, back hurts when I don't 😐But .. the weather helps 🙂

As that’s horrible plantar fasciitis and I can sympathise with you on your back. Lovely day and photo of your walk , good to get out . Look after yourself .

[Instructor57 in reply to Doris8]

Thank you !And yes, trying very hard to look after myself 😁

[diana1998]

I've had plantafasciitis since last September in spite of exercises, rolling the instep on a tennis ball etc. and wearing protective trainers. If I do a walk it's very sore afterwards, so use my static bike. It came on after going barefoot on our tiled kitchen floor during the heatwaves last summer. I have a thin heel pad it seems. Don't overdo things, or it will come back worse to bite you.

[Instructor57 in reply to diana1998]

Yes, it tends to come on when I up my walking , then will usually disappear again 🤞

”Getting a little further” is such a great progress meter. Well done. And reaching landmarks like that beautiful church must be such a great incentive!

[Instructor57 in reply to CBDB]

Thanks, Yes just noticing im getting a little further in the same time without trying to.

The church is around the halfway point on my 5k running route 🙂

[CBDB Administrator in reply to Instructor57]

perfect halfway point! 💪👏🙏
