Still walking with the weights. Progress is slow, but I think I’m lifting my foot a bit more when I walk without them. I‘ve increased the distance I walk a little but not much, maybe 750 yards, but I have increased the amount of weight I use and the length of time I wear them.
Right now “uneven terrain” refers to badly cracked sidewalks and perfectly average driveways, but I’m hoping to be able to do unpaved areas by summer.

Forced myself to get my running gear on and go to running group despite the cold and not feeling too well lately. Thought the exercise and socialising would do me good. Got there and it was deserted. Not a single person outside the meeting place (a pub) and only about 2 people and a dog drinking beer inside. I ran up and down waiting to see if anybody would turn up, but alas nobody did. So I did a little 5k on my lonesome then came home. There was ice earlier today but it was all gone, I assume they cancelled it because of that, but I do feel like a second class citizen not being on fucking Facebook as that's where they announce things (and it's an invite only group, so you can't just take a look to check if it's been cancelled or not). FFS. Didn't feel too well by the end of the run - a mixture of disappointment and whatever else is going on with me at the moment.
I got out for a run, no rain just misty which I love so much. I'm still kind of wiped out from the vomiting and probably having lost a lot of electrolytes/water. Anyway I blame that for my pace being very slow today. 4.25 miles this morning.
Ugh, yikes @AvidFan good decision to stay away from ice. I've fallen on it many times luckily never broke anything. I have a pair of yaktrax which are annoying but stop you from slipping. I hope you feel better soon, 'great you slept.

Finally managed to get out for a little run. Managed 3.5 miles, took it very easy, 12 minute/mile plus pace. Heart worked a little harder than usual for the pace but at least I didn't start feeling woozy or fatigued. I was exhausted from walking the same amount of time on Wednesday so this has to be a good sign. Hopefully I won't feel myself wiped out later in the day but so far so good.
