As I set off this morning across Farnborough Park, my shins immediately started feeling decidedly uncomfortable. Having suffered from shin splints before, I knew that I needed to rest my legs for a while and so I made my way into Mollington, phoning home on the way for Amanda to come and pick me up. I whiled away the time sitting in the churchyard which was as nice a churchyard as I could have wished.
Although I've done some day walking during lockdown, I haven't been doing as much on a daily basis and I haven't been attending the gym. Consequently, for me to expect my legs to carry me on two consecutive twenty mile days was asking a bit too much.
A day after returning home, I was hit by a sickness bug but am recovered now. Possibly due to water along the way although all water was filtered.
Anyway, I'll no doubt be getting out again soon.
