Gone back to W1

2 Replies

Having got to W2R3 I was due to start W3R1 but...walked 5miles in my walking sandals the day after W2R3 and gained a blood blister under my foot, along with some other ‘normal’ blisters. Oh! The pain! A week of recovery and some feet tlc.

Decided to take it easy and go back to beginning to be gentle on my feet and also to support my husband as he’s been struggling somewhat. I’m so proud of him, this time he has managed W1R1&2 without stopping midway.

Footnote: walking sandals are in the bin....
