90 minutes @ 4.8mph
A lovely evening for a power walk. 11 Deg C with a 3 mph S wind. Hardly a breath. Actually, I was wearing too much - I hadn't realised that over an hour in such mild conditions will result in me not feeling the cold quite so much, so I was regretting the three layers.
Since dropping from size 22 to a size 12, I've been constantly amazed at how much I feel the cold now. In my 'bigger' days, I could cope with just a scarf in snow, ice and wind. I never owned a coat for years - didn't see the need. But last winter and certainly this one just gone, I was never without my heavy winter coat.
Anyway. Back to the walk! Accompanied with my darling husband, we took the coastal route eastwards towards Hengistbury and then over to Christchurch. Taking the scenic route, we headed straight for the river, and walked up the pathway by the side of some beautiful power boats and yachts.
View of Christchurch PrioryThere are some brand new 'town houses' built directly overlooking the river and I would give anything to own one of those...plus the power boat to go with it!
River at Wick FerryWe killed two birds with one stone and popped into Waitrose to pick up this evening's dinner (a fusion of Chinese and Thai dishes) and then picked up the pace as we headed back home. This time, heading directly up Nemesis Hill (which looks so different at this time of day) and 1 hour, 36 minutes later, we were back home.
Tomorrow, I'm planning a 10 miler. Early. As in, at Stupid O'clock........
