A literal footnote.

I've come to the conclusion that the orthotics that the Ladybank (Fife village) podiatrist made for me are actually better for me than the custom fit pair that I got from the NHS.

In order to get the NHS pair, I saw three different podiatrists: one to fit, one to hand over, one to check when I had problems.

The podiatrist in Ladybank watched me walking, measured my feet and made up Vasyli orthotics with added wedges. Watched me again and made the wedge for the right foot higher than the left.

I'm finding that the NHS custom orthotics often make me feel that the right foot isn't fully supported, so today I put the Ladybank custom orthotics into my trainers, and I intend to wear them over the next week to see how I get on.

Thanks @WearyAuldWumman - have never heard of MFT- will google.
I did a slow day 1 of week 5 c25k, followed by yoga in the garden- shade, and some bedtime yoga tonight.
Well done to all !

@Buntyforgirls If you Google that with 'Gill Dryburgh' you should find brief reels of it online - she takes several classes in the east of Scotland.

50 plus x 25m swim - we only have 1 lane for lane swimming and it was 🐶 eat 🐶. One woman was getting frustrated but she was wearing bloody flippers, so obviously no one else was going to be as fast as her 🤣

Flippers?! That’s nutty! Never seen that before (not that I am much of a swimmer)….

Hi everyone! I’m new and hoping to walk 10k a day, every day in June. I did this challenge a couple of years ago for one month and felt great. I’ll be posting my km’s each day if that’s ok!

Alittlefrustrated · 31/05/2026 17:25

Welcome Imthefunfriend! I like your plan. I can't walk every day but I'll join you by doing some form of exercise every day in June.
Today - Just over 6 mile walk straight after breakfast, before it got too hot. So pleased with myself, as once again I was a Billy no mates. Maybe I can do this walking on my own after all 🎺

Well done @Alittlefrustrated! I would appreciate the company! I took a walk after lunch, 8km so about 5 miles. It took me 2 hours. I also walked my DC to and from football this morning so already hit my 10km target for today.

I really struggle to find the time on my work in the office days, but I need to do something every day in June because I’ve become stuck in a bit of a rut.

Will try and post daily for the accountability Wink

45 minute Body Balance class in Cowdenbeath; 1 hr MFT class in aid of charity in a local church.

yesterday I finished putting a new roof on our little bike shed. I definitely felt the weight of the hammer putting in over a hundred of those little nails in!
I have some quite gnarly DOMS from training on Saturday morning. I still can't get over how harsh that workout was. I mean I'll be there this Saturday because it's super handy to the house, but boy you can really tell the guy is ex military.

It made the average Crossfit session seem like a spa day - no wonder these Marine Fit lot keep turning up and doing so well at the Crossfit competitions!

Buntyforgirls · Yesterday 11:19

Pilates and bedtime yoga, yesterday and today.
@WearyAuldWumman that looks so much fun- the class here is called chi chi fit- might give it a try.

WearyAuldWumman · Yesterday 17:24

45 minute Body Conditioning class which again turned into a Strength Yoga class because the original instructor was off. [Overdid things at a Kettlebells training session, apparently.

I'm now wondering about trying to do Yoga regularly.

45 minute Senior Flex class - cardio, stretches, light weights.

MummyInTheNecropolis · Yesterday 20:55

Yoga class (1 hour)

I didn’t sleep Angry So frustrating!

I literally spent most of today walking here there and everywhere. Logging a massive 32km and 40,500 steps. Feet are throbbing.

In the office tomorrow so I’ll need to go out in the evening to hit my 10km target.

WearyAuldWumman · Yesterday 21:27

That was 90.

No gym tomorrow. Shall get some urban walking in.

stilldumdedumming · Yesterday 23:49

I am here with 132
lots of swimming, Pilates, core and legs. However I am feeling quite unfit and heavy.
I will go back and read.
off camping Thursday to Sunday. Wet forecast and I’m not sure how much exercise we will get in!
