Walk 4.1m

Walked 4.1m in 65 min, 15.8minmile.

Walked smoothly, a few sessions of faster walking but both of us were not in a mood to push it. So we talked and walked and it was relaxing to be able to talk to each other instead of huffing and puffing and not being able to hear each other.

Had to do shorter distance because DH had to leave by 6.20 Am. So we started at 5.05 AM and finished by 6.10AM.Beautiful weather, breezy, we saw a group of runners - approx. six of them running in tandem, just so beautiful to look at, all fit and with good posture and form - may be it was the morning light!

Yesterday I was going over our first few blog posts and read, ' LSD this weekend:3miles'. GB and I had a good laugh over that. Yup, there was a time when a regular workout was no more than 2 miles and a LSD was 3 miles, after which we hogged the couch for the rest of the day!! We have come very far, but are still not there yet. Oct 19th 2008 will decide where we stand.
