I am not continuing with the programme. Once I stopped, to go on holiday, I felt some pain in my right knee which took a whole week to go, along with a slightly ‘out’ ankle. Enough to make me listen to all those who told me running can be quite harmful, and too much impact on the joints.  Also the crampy tight feeling in my lower calves still hasn’t left, two weeks later. Copping out? Maybe, but I don’t want to risk long term damage; I’d rather keep fit other ways.

I am going to swim, jump on my trampoline, surf, walk, and stretch to keep well physically from now on. 

By the way, the 30 min prog doesn’t end with 30 mins running, but 6 lots of five minutes, with one min walk after each as usual.

So… gotta find something else to blog about now. I suspect it will be the meditation I intend to begin regularly.
