Who uses a Sunday as a lazy day?

@SunshineGirl Hi and thanks, bit sore and tired now as played a few games. Hope you had fun too.

@Mariagirl Yes thanks. Are your badminton skills improving? 🙂

@SunshineGirl Haha yes a bit, but my feet and legs were aching.😭

@Mariagirl If it's not hurting, it's not working! 😊 Are you still without shoes?

@SunshineGirl I still never found my plimsoles for PE class so still doing that barefoot.😐
Was at sports centre today so could have worn my trainers but so used to just packing shorts and top I forgot them. Anyway when we start playing other teams it will be in the school gym so I am just to keep practicing in barefeet as I need to get used to it and I feel like I have better grip.

@Mariagirl Glad it's not stopping you from taking part 🙂 You should have good grip and mobility and it's better to play in bare feet than not at all 🙂

@SunshineGirl I don't have much choice at school PE, and have gave up looking for my plimsoles now.
On the plus side I seem to run faster in barefeet and did well on sports day😊

@Mariagirl Yay! Did you win any prizes?

@SunshineGirl I got second in 200 metres and 4th in long jump.

@Mariagirl Well done! Do you run on a grass track?

@SunshineGirl Yup normally but we did the 100 and 200 metres indoor as it rained a bit to start but got better so we did rest outside after a break.

@Mariagirl Soft grass is kinder on bare feet 🙂

@SunshineGirl We allowed trainers outside so had them on as I didn't want to go all afternoon in barefeet, so was a bit mad I had to do my race indoors as it turned out to be a nice day

@Mariagirl Oh, well you did doubly well in that case to come 2nd without trainers!

@SunshineGirl I didn't want to run indoors to start with because most of my year were there watching but did it to help my team but was so pleased I got second place.

@Mariagirl Have you ever heard of Zola Budd. She was an athlete who mainly trained and ran barefoot. She still holds the British womens 1 mile record that she set in 1985 🙂

@SunshineGirl Zola Budd was a remarkable athlete
Originally from South Africa, but ran for England due to the ban on S.A for apartheid.

@SunshineGirl Wow that's some going ( I looked her up and she did that from an early age). I seem to run faster barefoot in the gym right enough but not doing it outdoors. 🤨. Did it one sports afternoon when I forgot some of kit and never liked it.

@Mariagirl I think my daughter runs faster too with no shoes as she gets cold feet and needs to warm them up! 😅
