a quick update
I went for my walk on Friday, and I hated it! I was tired and miserable and the walk seemed to be twice as hard as normal. I think a combination of tiredness and soreness had crept up on me and I was feeling worse for it. I am starting to see that for this to be sustainable I need to make some life style changes i.e. going to bed earlier, this is going to be a real challenge for me as I am a dedicated night hawk and morning misery guts.
Looking back on the last ten days or so I can certainly see that I am starting to feel the benefit of the walking, although I sometimes don’t think that at the time, later in the day I have noticed an improvement in energy and concentration, it’s small but noticeable. These little victories are very important in any major life challenge so that I have noticed more energy gives more motivation to continue.
Well I’m of for an early night by my books and an extended walk tomorrow morning, wish me luck!

The off days are always the hardest. Guess what! Once you get used to the exercise you will have more energy and you may even be able to be a night owl and a morning walker, too. I got caught walking in the storm of Friday night - there’s nothing like a few crashes of close thunder and even closer flashes of lightning to get the heart (and feet) racing!

Congratulation on taking on the challenge Tony, and congratulations for putting yourself and your experience out there like this, it’s really brave!
You’ve made a fantastic start and it will get easier, one day you too will be one of those sick and twisted people that run for fun!! but there will be hard days where you wonder if it is all woth it. so if your ever looking for inspiration just take a look at your little boy and think about what a fantastic example you are setting him.
I look forward to updates and hang in there.
