Slow down... then slow down more:)

If you are walking a lot and working hard... be kind to yourself and just take it gently :)

Think snail on a go slow:)

Gosh you’d already done the walking shift before going out, wow superhero stuff.

No wonder it was a struggle you do need the body and mind to be at one to do your best.

Be gentle to your body and mind, take an extra day’s rest if you need to. There’s no race to graduation most of us took longer than the 9 weeks.

I hope your next time out is a gentle kind one
