1: 0 minutes. Decided on a rest day because I've been walking with no socks and managed to develop a couple of blisters.
2: 8 minutes. I hate Fitbit active minutes...
3: 13 minutes. Even though I was actually walking for 2 hours, only 13 minutes were 'active'.
4: 62 minutes. Decided to start walking much earlier in the day and it was much more successful.
5: 0 minutes. It rained all day and I ended up with only 3500 steps...
6: 39 minutes. I hauled many bags of slate around the garden so I combined weights and cardio!

On Sunday there's a very well-known half-marathon in my city, Newcastle-upon-Tyne, UK. My friend (who lives 5 hours away) is running and she drove up on Saturday so we were able to spend the afternoon together. We were coworkers and housemates 20 years ago and have only seen each other twice since then so it was very special to see her. We went down to the city quayside and watched the junior races and the international mini athletics meet, went to the traditional pasta party so that my friend could carb load (I may have helped with that...) and had coffee in the city. I only have a couple of friends here because I lived overseas for a long time so it was amazing to have someone here who knows me so well. We did a lot of walking, with lots of hills and steps and I ended up with 11000 steps without feeling wiped out.

9: 0 minutes. I have v. painful flaking, peeling skin on the bottom of my big toes. I'm treating it as athletes' foot and hoping for the best. I can barely put any weight on them.
Newlyn: I'm sorry you're having problems, now, after such a fun day with your friend. I hope the healing is quick! Newcastle-upon-Tyne is on my bucket list of places to visit.

Thanks gardenerjoy! My feet seem a little better today but I'm staying off them as much as possible. Oh, you should come to Newcastle! I was born and brought up here, and my parents are here, but I've lived away for almost 30 years and only recently moved back. The city has changed so much in that time but it's still very beautiful, as are the coast and countryside of Northumberland. How come you want to visit?

Newlyn: I love all things British. Living in the US, it's my fantasy escape, that has the advantage of not being fully fantasy. Newcastle came on my radar when I was considering the best way to see Hadrian's Wall for someone who isn't used to driving on the left. It looks like there are opportunities for guided tours out of Newcastle. I also love cities with rivers and bridges, so the pictures of Newcastle are really appealing!
