Where it began...

So it's circa 2008. By no means was I ever an active, exercise driven person so perhaps there was symptoms earlier than then. I did however have a very lively 3 year old Labrador that needed to be walked so wether I wanted to or not I had to do some exercise. I found that when walking home that my legs started to feel like lead weights, it was like my legs couldn't lift my feet anymore. First response is of course 'God! I'm really unfit' and you think nothing more of it. There were many theories..

Wrong shoes, varicose veins and my favourite - I was just too lazy to walk properly. Whatever the problem it needed to be solved, if only to save my shoes from being dragged around.
