double digit day

Took down another 10 miles along the canal and down to Sandgate this afternoon. It was strange to notice that it took me til mile three to properly get in the swing of things (again) but I suppose my knee is still playing up a bit despite using my brace. Never mind, I just took it slow and tried to convince myself that it was just about getting a few more miles under my belt as I didn't have to rush every time I went out.

It was SO windy!!!

The thought of carrying on down the bike path onto the sea wall wasn't inspiring so I followed along the golf course instead. It was really lovely with the sun shining, babbling stream and green green grass and was underwhelming when I climbed the stairs at the end of the path and found myself at the back of a gas station. Another mile along the road and I turned for home.

At mile 6, I was thirsty.
At mile 7, I began to fantasize about relaxing in the garden with a beer.
At mile 8, I thought we should all go out for a bike ride once the kids woke from their nap.
At mile 9, I had a drastic rethink and just wanted to eat!

It was slow today, but the miles are racking up. I have started leaving the clock running while I wait to cross the road in the hopes that the times will be more realistic to what the pace will be on the night. Must stretch again tonight before bed. Its sad to admit, but I am s-o-r-e!

10.12 miles - 18,204 steps - 2.15.03
