Did a walk with the dogs as part of my daily routine. Hoping to do most days except when it is raining as the dogs will just stand in one place https://mysports.tomtom.com/service/webapi/v2/activity/perm_ncJQ49APz45xMWurh79HImfRvU6wqRr2DQtDSqz2D3Ud5dnhA1uoqF7dhHQYe9RCtYaUf0OfBnsR3bzMpGkl-A?format=html

The first sub 1 hour 5 km walk

Yesterday was the first sub 1 hour 5km walk and it felted good. 

I started off as I usually do, getting the music right and the TomTom Spark watch ready, linked to GPS. And off I went I into the drizzly mist. I was in a confident mood which I think helped

Between the 3 and 4 km marks there is a hill that starts harsh, eases off, but then goes on for a long way which I have always found draining. Yesterday, I conquered that hill, not one stop

And as soon as I got home, took the 2 dogs out to do their business and settled down with a green tea

Ongoing walking

Since my last post, I have slowly, and emphasis on the word slowly, increased my daily walk(s) to 7.25km. This has been a struggle at times, only last night, I felt I was going to have to give up.

I have to admit to enjoying the walks, yes they are solo walks and given recent weather rather damp, but I put my Bluetooth headphones on, link them to my TomTom Spark and listen to one of the many podcasts that I download. 

I tend to listen to Techno or Trance, the beat is uplifting and keeps me on my time. I know at 53 I am supposed to be listening to fuddy duddy music, but I like the beat so it does me
