It's been a while since I've posted because there hasn't been much to write about, exercise-wise. I taped my toe to the one next to it for two and a bit weeks. Since then, it's been OK to walk on, but achy walking downstairs and if I walk on it too much. However in the last week, it's felt much better.
Number of bike rides since breaking toe: 1. Very poor! More to do with terrible weather (I'm a fair weather cyclist) and lack of time than anything else.
Number of sessions on the cross trainer: 10. Much better! I do suffer from extreme boredom when doing any kind of gym-related activity but I balanced my phone over the display and watched Pointless and Dead Boss on iPlayer, which just about kept me interested and occupied.
The good news is that I've been in touch with my Sempai and will be back at karate tonight trying some light training. :)
I haven't been tempted to run, apart from a few yards across the garden today. I won't be kicking anything at karate tonight but am most concerned about the warm-up, as, when I start running, I really want the security of a supportive trainer round my foot, rather than running barefoot.
However I am ecstatic about getting back into exercise. Must not overdo it though. The goal is to do the marathon next May, not to run 10 miles in the next week.
I'll let you know how I get on.
