Normal service will resume shortly.

Been watching my calories and getting some exercise since the 1st, but by yesterday my legs were definately starting to feel the strain. My calf muscles (especially the smaller left one) have had a good workout this week with plenty of step training and quite decent length walks.

I got a pedometer a couple of days back, which tracks how far you’ve walked and approximately how many calories it will have burned. The heavier you are, the more calories you burn from walking, as you have more weight to carry round with you! According to this device, I burnt 650 kcal just from walking yesterday – but this did not help my aching calves. From my (limited) knowledge of exercise/training/sports, I appreciate there is no gain without pain, but I am also aware that the idea is to work your muscles and then give them time to recover – and I haven’t done the recovery yet. Leaving your body in a permanent state of injury is not the best way to get healthy!

So today, I’m going to take a little break. I will continue watching my calories, but will not be running up any hills!

1 related to a word I thought I never used – “entercise” – but it seems I did. Live and learn!
