Just got back from a lunch time walk to the supermarket, 30 minutes there and back, 2000 steps, and my feet really hurt in these DocMarten Safety Shoes!!!

I am now walking at least an hour every morning before work, buying a dog was the right thing to do
I feel calmer during the day and sleeping much better
I want to get fit ready to start doing some MX and hopefully keep up with Frankie :)

One of the bonuses of London working is 20 mins each way of fast paced walks, 3 times a week. Add in lunchtime walks and I'm averaging 13-14k steps.

It may not be leafy green scenery, but it is interesting in other ways.

Without much change to my exercise regime, I've shifted 10kg in little over 4 weeks. It's all down to diet.

Went to the Forest of Dean for some off-piste mountain biking.

On the way home, I regretted leaving as early as I did so stopped by my local woods and went mountain biking again!

I was going to do legs but my knees weren't in the mood so I did some cardio on a bike.

Cycled 30 miles or so. Feel better afterwards than I've felt in a very long time.
I have absolutely no idea why.
