Training in Quarantine – Day 13

Walked a longer lap today, 4.85km. Really nice weather to go out walking too. Went past my local Tesco petrol station — they now have implemented a queue system with one in/one out. My local Sainsbury’s had a queue of about 250m (sometimes it does have a queue sometimes it doesn’t). A Tesco Express near Barnet Everyman Cinema also had a queue, but it was only a couple of people.

When Strava finally synced with my Fitbit and I checked the flybys, holy crap, there were a lot of people out exercising…

Training in Quarantine – Day 12

Walked through the park today, and it was a really nice warm day, so a lot of people were out running, cycling and walking. Annoying, and reminded me why I don’t use the park anymore.

Meanwhile, on the way back, I saw the council had done up the local flowers, and they looked pretty good (and smelt nice, although it set off my hayfever….)

Training in Quarantine – Day 9

Walk again. Did my 3k lap as always, on call, so didn’t want to make too far a distance in case I get beeped (wasn’t this time, thankfully)

Walked past a Sainsbury’s that had a massive queue last time I went past them. There was no queue this time, even though it was still open, for some reason.

Decided to finally rasp and scrape my heel of hard skin, soak it in hot water, and then put some foot cream on it after a shower.

I’m writing this entry a day after it should have been written (forgot to log it yesterday) and my heels definitely feel better. Still a little crinky, but definitely not as bad as before.
