I've decided to stop writing my blog.
I'm just not feeling it at all and finding it difficult to write anything meaningful or interesting.
I'm still having issues with my feet so there's very little running going on and I'm wondering whether it's actually time to knock it on the head completely. Even just slow running is causing problems and the ball of my foot throbs most of the time.
I really need to get stuck into something else but, as mentioned in previous posts, I don't find it that easy. I've just come back from the Netherlands and wish that it was as easy to get around by cycle here as it is there. I'd cycle everywhere if I lived there. We did a 40-50 mile ride one day on our city (or as I call them, shopper) bikes without wearing helmets but having no fear for our lives.
Maybe I should just emigrate.
Anyway, if you have been following my blog, thanks for reading and you never know, I might start again one day but for now, this will be my final post.

Week 22 - Peace and Quiet
Wednesday, 30 May
On the way to my strength and conditioning session this morning, I decided to park up in Limbrick and go for a run to check out routes I could use to get to the gym on my bike. I ran along to Cowling Brow and got onto the canal, coming off at the next bridge. This took me onto a road in a housing estate and when I turned left it came out on Eaves Lane but a little too far along from the gym so I had a trot around the estate and found that there was a cut through I could use which would take me out right near to the roundabout at the end of Eaves Lane. Before getting back onto the canal, I decided to carry on along the road which became very rural and crossed over the motorway. It seemed to go on for a while so I turned back and made a note to check it out on maps to see where it leads to. I then got back onto the canal and ran along to Limbrick - I wouldn't come off the canal at this point on my bike though as it's a footpath through a field but it's just nicer than coming off at Cowling when running.
My run was actually quite fast for me of late to I arrived at the gym pretty knackered. Had a good session though.
Total distance - 3 miles

This morning I went for an easy run with Ruby early doors whilst it was cool. We didn't see a single person on our four mile run and I was able to have Ruby off lead the whole time. She started really flagging though so I did a bit more walking than I would have liked but it doesn't matter as it's just nice to be out with my little Ruby Dinks.
Total distance - 4 miles

This morning I went to the gym for an S&C session and, again, got a PB on my sit to stand. I can now get up on my right leg whilst carrying 12.5kgs and on my left leg with 7.5kgs. I'm so impressed with myself as it's really hard work. There was a lot of loud grunting going on.
Duncan is away in Fort William at the minute with my brother so today I decided to really clean my house. I was once told that in experiments it was found that people doing vigorous cleaning burned more calories in a day then people doing exercise and that's not wrong. By around 2pm my shitbit was beeping at me to say that I had reached my 2200 calorie goal for the day. I usually don't reach this until late evening!
After all my cleaning I sat back and enjoyed my lovely home. After all, it will only be a couple of days until Duncan comes home and destroys all my hard work!
