So shopping trip was planned with daughter. This involved clocking up a total of 15.7km including this morning’s careful walk but foam roller purchased and used. But was persuaded to try custom fit insoles and took the plunge but resisted the top end running shoes he wanted to sell me too even though they felt like a dream but pocket couldn’t stand it. Trying them out on a walk tomorrow in old trainers and hope I can complete W3r3 on Saturday but will wait if i don’t feel ready. Am saving for those trainers...
