Thurs 2 May

Warm but possibly rainy today. Haven't been gettig 20,000 steps now for about a week, though I have been getting 15,000-18,000. Hard to fit in the really long walks with the rest of my activities, and I also am feeling the drain of consistent heavier activity. But better I deal with the drain now and increase the stamina (which was the whole idea), than that I feel the drain on the Cotswolds trail and have to foreshorten days too often. I'll keep trying while I'm still here to build up the stamina. Got my new light rain jacket yesterday, so if it's raining today, it gives me a better chance to try it out. Food: 7:55 am 66 g OH raspberry kringle, 101 g blackberries, coffee
