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.

Training in Quarantine – Day 7

I’m on call for the first time since quarantine and lockdown started so decided to run just after finishing work.

Got half way around then got beeped by the office, messing up my pace, even though it wasn’t an incident.

Still, in the time I had been running, according to Strava, I had averaged a 5:57 pace.
