Monday - as stated in last blog lunchtime swim.
This week work has been really busy and I have felt swamped. I have got up earlier to help me get through as much as possible but twice when I planned to go to the gym (Wednesday & Friday) I felt so shattered and a little giddy with exhaustion.
Tuesday - Lunchtime 10min walk around block. Football Arsenal v Man City. Walk up stairs at Highbury & Islington tube station and 10 min walk to/from H&I to ground. 15min walk home from station other end.
Wednesday - instead of the gym treadmill came home then later went for 45min walk despite feeling knackered. This included a steep hill on a circular walk.
Thursday - 15 min walk lunchtime slight variation to block route picking up some new shoes in Jones and taking in 3 sides of a square!
Friday - gave in and didn't even do the longer walk back home from my alternative station.
Saturday - Tottenham v Arsenal. Just about made it in time to meet my Dad on the train and in walking fast 15 mins walk left shin was getting sore. At other end lots of stairs walking up to Garfunkels at Victoria. After some food the tube escalators and stairs at Seven Sisters where some bloke on the escalators shouted out "keep up"! more stairs to get out of the station followed by walk to ground which I forgot to time but I kept having to slow down for my 3 companions so about 25 mins. Walking back did a detour away from the away-end corner and the High Road through back streets to join it later which took 35 mins. No further problems with the shin it was just when I was in a hurry for that train!
Sunday - Decided to start using the pedometer purchased at the same time as my boots which have been in use for weeks now! This meant measuring my stride length which I did in my hallway. One local walk mainly on a green-chain route with one of my training partners (my boyfriend) by persuasion i.e. roped into it for no reason! 2 hour walk aim turned into 2 hours 15 mins with a couple of stops Rob being interested in the golf on the courses and having a little rest! Pedometer reading: 9.86km 15,409 steps converts to 6.1miles.
Suggested training was 2 x 45min walks and 1 x 2 hours. Only one 45min walk non-stop but plenty of other walking done.
Plan for next week (same suggested training) - Tuesday treadmill, Thursday either treadmill
again or probably local walking, swim on Friday, 2hour walk sometime on Saturday.
