Rest day today – now I’m bored! Went out for a walk and bought some compression socks for running in the cold. 15 quid from Boots – not as cheap as I thought.

Guy called Kurt at RUN on Blatchington Road is getting some compression leggings next week so I’ll try both.

RUN is great. I popped in to get some new trainers a month or so ago. Kurt was brilliant - he knew exactly what type of shoe I needed from looking at my old pair and my wonky legs and pleased to say the trainers are a dream. Hope the compression leggings work well when you get them.

Yep - seems like a decent guy - no BS - infact he's the one that said I should try the DVT socks first (I get oedema in my lower legs).

Well done for staying in and not running! (not something you hear a lot on the forum!)

Now make yourself a rule to do something different on rest days and you won't get so bored!!
