Still no running; I’ve walked more in the last week than I would have preferred, but for various reasons I’ve walked in to or back from Oxford several times, and shuttled between Regent’s and Oriel. I’m looking for an economical pair of running shoes, but the local athletic shoe shop was overcrowded and understaffed, and when a sales rep finally did respond to a request for help, he refused to acknowledge my price-oriented interest and steered me only to a rack of high-end trainers.
My heel still hurts, though on days when I walk less, it feels better. I’ll keep trying to give it a rest, but life and work have different expectations.
