Barefoot for a Year – Day 5,6, 7 & 8
Day 5 New watch day. Garmin 12232 steps. Suunto 10789 steps. Proof my suunto was not recording all my steps, I wonder how long it’s been inaccurate for. Bye bye suunto, will be garmin from now on. My best day yet. Not only have I done the most steps, I have felt less fatigue and…

Welcome to My Blog!
Introduction – Back in September 2019, when i turned 40 years old, I wrote a bucket list of 40 things to do in my 40’s. I decided to write a blog to document each thing once I had done it. However, work, lock-down, work and lots more work meant I have done very few things…
