The sun was shining and there was a light breeze blowing as I completed a 16 mile walk to Littlestone and back again. I could not believe how far I could get into the marsh just by going 8 miles from home- especially as I passed by this red tower I would often drive toward and end up turning around in front of while trying to find my way to Spen's work in the early days of living in the UK (I use to get lost an awful lot!!).
The walk was speedy, not fast, but I felt really good. I spotted some friends and their little boys digging in the sand at Dymchurch, passed by a group of ladies walking too many dogs and appreciated when a group of construction workers stopped sawing into the concrete as I neared them. It was definitely a blue bird on my shoulder kind of day. I didn't even mind when the MP3 player stopped working with a mile to go. It gave me a chance to relax and clear my thoughts in the last stretch to home- even had me up my speed by .3mph!
Many thanks to Spen and the Runner's World Forum for sorting out my Garmin problems once and for all. It made the 16 miles so easy to handle.
