Most people will be aware of my preoccupation and worry about my foot, and if it will hold up on the next stage of our pilgrimage to Santiago.
Last week we spent a week in the Yorkshire Dales, having a spot of R & R, and doing a bit of hill walking. In five days we walked up the famous Yorkshire three peaks and also a couple of local walks as well. Overall the foot behaved itself but by the end of the week I was feeling a little bit of discomfort.
As soon as we got home, while I still could identify where the discomfort lay, I raced down to my podiatrist and was able to get an immediate appointment. After much prodding and poking, he was able to identify the problem which is caused by overwork to one of the tendons in the foot. He has given me some stretching exercised to do and hopefully with those I should be able to do the walk, but must just listen to the foot and take it easy, and not try to be a terminator, walking far to fast and hard.
