Walk days

I think i'm going to change "Next walk" to "Miles left to walk this week". I'm really not doing very well at going out for my walks on the days I'm supposed to. I'm still getting the distances done but at different times.

Distance: 6.2 miles
Time: 9:00am
Weather: Glorious sunshine, nice fresh breeze and a lovely little bit of haze hanging over the city.
Time taken: 1.5 hours (4mph)

I had a really nice walk today. I walked to Arthur's Seat, up and round the road and then back to my flat. It was really enjoyable. I stopped to take some photos and enjoy the views. My headphones are broken so it was just me and the sound of my feet. This had one advantage/disadvantage... it gave me time to think.

Things I realised:

  • They're right when they say replace your shoes after a marathon. Mine have done training for and participated in 2 x 5K runs and 1 marathon. They're really not comfy anymore. My heel felt like it was on fire by the time I got home and all the cushioning has gone. This is really annoying as it's at least £60 I can't spare at the minute.
  • I need a new sports bra. Fair enough, on the night I have to wear some silly little decorated number but there's no reason I should suffer in the meantime.
  • My water bottle leaks. Think I'll go back to trusty Sigg bottles.

Miles still to walk this week: 3 (tomorrow)
