January 2013

08:45 28/01/2013 Monday morning...

I went out this morning for half an hour. About 6am. It was completely dark still so not great for walking out in the woods and I stuck mainly to the roads, which were icy and slippery underneath my boots. It was OK. Nothing else to say.

Oh yes, I walked. I went for a walk. I think that's so much better than not going out that I'm completely happy with that. I can start running later, but for now, establishing the routine of going out for some exercise in the mornings is good enough.

I went out this evening for an hour. Around midnight. I walked. And after a half hour or so I found I got into my stride and felt like walking more. And after an hour I felt I could walk all night. Inactivity makes me tired. Exercise gives me energy. I am so heavy these days (15 stone+) and so unfit that I don't feel comfortable with the idea of running. It's good to know that brisk walking also works.

I guess my current weight is about equivalent ot my normal weight plus a heavy rucksack, so going out walking is good training for hiking with a rucksack.
