  • I am jumping in very late in the month. With all the moving, working extra, and general loss of motivation i've dropped the ball on my workouts so i'm coming back to, hopefully, get myself back on track. I'm putting up a reasonable goal for the rest of September and look forward to this accountability.

  • 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!
    7: 33 minutes and 6200 steps. I walked but my heart rate wasn't very high so I need to increase the intensity.
    8: 85 minutes; 11108 steps; 4.2 miles.
    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.
    10: 26 minutes. I was wearing my Salomon walking shoes, which have a lot of padding, so my feet didn't hurt as much while I was walking, but they're very painful now.
    11: 0 minutes. Staying off my feet as much as possible.
    12: 0 minutes. Still treating my feet.
    13: 0 minutes. My feet are a lot better but I don't want to push them too soon - I even sat down in my ceramics class!

    gardenerjoy It's so easy to get out to Hadrian's Wall. A train stops at points along its length and in summer a bus stops at the major sites/cute towns so you can visit places and stay nearby. You don't need to drive at all. There are lots of walking tours and there's a new hostel/visitor centre/restaurant just 3 miles walk from Sycamore Gap. It's all really convenient as a series of day trips from Newcastle. It's also worth going up the coast to Alnwick Castle (Hogwarts), Bamburgh Castle, and the Farne Islands. And you've got a local guide now!
