This week:

Walked instead of the bus all week. Not a programme. Just walking.

Two sessions this week, both short, both done. Ren keeps saying that two a week for two years beats a perfect programme abandoned in March, and he is annoyingly right.

Eight minutes and a chair. That is the whole programme. Tuesday and Friday. I have done it for eleven weeks.

Grip strength has gone off and I noticed it opening a jar before I noticed it anywhere else. Back to loading properly.

Same again next month.

Bookmarking. This is the clearest description of a plateau I have read anywhere.

Reading this at half past six with a cup of tea and nodding at every line. Thank you for writing it down.
