Well it was a little fresher this morning so quite a change for my morning walk .I still go out in my running gear though so thin shorts and thin running vest and an old pair of running shoes that are now retired from running outside but I still use them on the treadmill and for walking !

Was feeling good this morning as the scales revealed I have now lost almost 1.5 stone since coming out of hospital.

(Intentionally I may add !) πŸ™‚

Still a little more to go to put me where I want to be .

Anyway, so extended the morning walk ever so slightly just incase I didn't get out again later .

Pink salmon salad for lunch, no bread which is tough for me as I used to make my own yeasted and sourdough, but I'm almost cut the carbs out now , oh and a homemade simple dressing,

I used to looove salad cream but not on my menu anymore πŸ™‚

After lunch I thought I'd go and do a bit of gardening as it wasn't too hot and sunny .

After which I still felt restless so had a quick look at the weather app and decided on another walk !

So I think that's it for the day wit 13,599 steps so far !

And tomorrow will be first run of week 5 followed by another walk later πŸ™‚

The picture was taken from a house I pass at about 15 minutes from home (it's certainly not mine! 🀣), I have been watching it fill with flowers over the last few weeks !

Happy running/walking πŸ™‚

Will it get better on its own?

It certainly did last time I had it , but took several months !It was before I started running , and again was overweight when it started, so 🀞

It will soon disappear again!

Good walk again and a lot of steps . And on your weight loss. Very healthy meal . What a lovely picture and the colour beautiful. I don’t know how you walk so far with your plantar fasciitis. Glad mines not flaring up just now.

To be honest , sometimes when I go out I'm doubtful if I will do it because of the PF, but it always eases after around 10 or 15 minutes Walking.It's worse after I get back and perhaps sit for an hour , then it's painful to get moving again .

But I really have no choice , the more I walk the more weight is coming off which is not only needed for my cardiac recovery but also the less weight I'm carrying then the less weight is on my foot which can only help .

I had it before, just over 3 years ago before I started running, and my weight was also higher then !

Once the weight came of the PF disappeared!

So I'm hoping it happens again 🀞🀞🀞

All of that sounds really good especially The Salmon salad πŸ‘Œ and the weight loss. You make it sound really simple, which it is when you think about it, but stupid things get in the way unfortunately πŸ™„ keep going and keep writing as it’s inspiring me

Thank you so much for your kind reply πŸ‘And yes, it is simple really, but as you say we all have a habit of letting things get in the way or over thinking things .

I guess the warning I have had makes it easier for me to focus
