How can something so simple seem so complicated?

I hadn't realised how exhausting the whole fund-raising lark would be. I'm so pleased with the success of the quiz night, but am glad to be giving myself a few weeks break from raising money while I concentrate on other projects.
Although it's very cold out, the sun is shining today so I headed out for a two mile walk to blow away the cobwebs. Last week the physio told me that my foot lifts up at too much of a right angle, and I need to push off more from my toes. I've been walking since I was less than a year old (and my children will happily tell anyone that that's a long time ago!) but all of a sudden I'm over analysing what I'm doing, and something that should be simple is fast becoming very complicated! Is my heel striking the floor at the right point? Am I rolling my foot enough? Is my stride the right length? Far too confusing!
April is going to be a busy time in London - William and Kate have announced today that they'll be getting married on the 29th - 12 days after the marathon. Maybe I should take a sleeping bag with me, so if my ankle injury flares up somewhere along the route I can avoid embarrassment by pretending to be camping out ready to wave to the happy couple.
