Medium paced walk 60 mins - AM
Brisk paced walk 60 mins - PM
I've got a running event to take part in next weekend. My husband is running an ultra marathon with Andy McMenemy, who is (as of today) on Day 11 of his Challenge:

I won't be able to run that far - my knee just wouldn't tolerate it (I had knee surgery in 2008 and was advised not to run long distances unless I fancied a knee replacement), but I'm aiming to run/walk as far as I can. So rather than do my pre-planned 22 miles today, I am doing two walks of a different pace to keep everything "oiled up" and ready.
The weather this morning is stunning. It's already 10 deg C with a 'rotational' 2mph wind (a rotational is something rarely seen...it basically means that it's blowing from too many angles to take an accurate direction). The sea is like a millpond, with barely a ripple hitting the beach. There's a slightly misty sky with the sun shining on everything. It's the kind of morning where everyone has a smile on their face and bids you a cheery "Good Morning!" as you walk past.
I was drawn to the beach and earlier this week, I noticed they have erected the Lifeguard stations every few hundred yards along the bay. Always a great sign of summer days to come. This morning, the picture looks as though it's already July. I had my fleece on, but didn't need it at all.
There were lots of dog walkers out, with their dogs enjoying the sea. I wished that our dog, Foggy would be brave enough to get into the water, but he won't go near it!
I chose to go up and down some of the cliff paths to get the heart rate going. It was so warm that it seemed that bit harder this morning. I blamed my late night last night....it was gone 1am before I got to bed. That's no good for a Stupid O'Clock Walker!
I'm already looking forward to this evening's brisk walk.
