decided to get fit this year, and started newyears. Gave away alcohol, junk food, and started walking 2.5ks a day. Unfortuntley my body wasnt ready, and I have strained my left foot. It's killing me that I havent done a big walk in 2 days, exercise is addictive.

It's a bit late but get yourself some good sports shoes. There are places that check out how you plant your feet etc and can recommend the right gear. Those light grey inserts on the side of the soles aren't for looks but for different support etc. rest the foot and you'll be back at it sooner than continually injuring something not quite healed. I've waited 7 months to pull 3kg weights but it's better than doing 20kg and another $5k operation
