First walk in ten days, not very far and not very fast but still got 3 blisters, being careful this time not making anything worse.
Slow but still on the recovery path. - Couch to 5K

Good on you! That looks like it would be a beautiful route too, in the forest
Not a forest, just local park which is opposite my house, I don’t see it as beautiful but I think that is just familiarity breeds contempt, I live on a main road and park is directly opposite, just like a front garden,.
Ps it is a nice park, I’ve known it from the age of 5, just don’t like changes that have happened, hope they put the duck pond back.

Those wretched blisters! I hope you have something effective to help them heal. I’m sure it’s so frustrating wanting to get out and do more, but getting thwarted when you try
It is very frustrating but, can’t blame the blisters, my fault for being a prat, since I started this game(amputeism) (is that a word) have been told to slow down and be careful!! Doh as Homer would say.
Have coped with blisters for years, ( walked from Glasgow to Fort William) with a blister on the sole of my foot with little problem.
Compeed plasters always help ( have 3 on at the moment) just waiting for them to fall off, meanwhile they are acting like a second skin.
It’s so easy to say slow down and be careful, but so hard to do, though, isn’t it! I have different circumstances - chemo - but am still finding it difficult to accept the limitations I now have. I rail against it and resent the fact that I can’t do what I feel I ‘should’ be able to do, but am realising that by building up steadily I’ll maybe not get back to how I used to be, but at least will improve where I am.Sending you patient vibes!

I always read my daily digest from C25K and Bridge to 10K in the morning, especially to give me some motivation if I plan to run that morning ! You certainly did that and I am sending you Kudos ( I log my runs on Strava and occasionally get sent Kudos- I never really knew what the word meant so my favourite definition that I found which applies 100% to you is "Acclaim or praise for exceptional achievement"). You sound very determined to complete C25K and I hope "slow and steady" will get you there.
