The walk of doom.

Wasn’t actually a walk of doom after all.

I have runkeeper installed on my phone and the automated voice gives me updates every five minutes as well as every .05 of a kilometre. I find the updates are quite encouraging and I know from the last time I walked regularly, the app helped me to keep on going just that little bit further. I am enormously competetive at some things and I do like to win, especially against myself.

As this was only a short walk I didn’t bother the robots inside my phone too much.

I know I said that I was only going to take three photos and then only publish one. That proved just too hard as there are far too many things to see on a walk. I took eight photos which is enormously restrained of me and I am going to share three of them today.

At the corner I turned back to look down the hill and saw that Tilly the cat was tagging along behind me.

The cat came along as well

And then there was also Harry, only looking slightly exasperated that he had to wait for me.

Harry says hurry up

I walked to the  crest of the hill before I turned back and headed home, with these two leading the way.

leading me home

My final stats were Distance: .99 km. Time: 22 minutes at an average of  22.25 minutes per kilometre.

Yay me.

    Walks are so inspiring, aren’t they? I always find the best photos when I forget my camera, of course!

    Way to go! You are encouraging me to get off my arse and walk again, have not done this in far too long.

    I keep telling myself I should go for a walk every day, maybe one day I will listen. I did start to about three years ago now, then again when I moved here, then I got lazy.

    Beautiful. It’s touching that the animals want to tag along (or lead the way in Harry’s case).
