My first Half Marathon Walk

uShaka to Blue Lagoon, scenes along our 21 km walk, Durban Promenade

It is the 1st April but my first half marathon walk is certainly not an April's Fool joke.

We were up early to get to the wonderful Durban Promenade, such a special place to walk.

A beautiful late summer's day, warm with a slight breeze.

Lots of people and dogs out on the paths, all of us enjoying the pleasure of being out and about.

uShaka to Blue Lagoon Beach is about 7km, so we 'promenaded' 3 times to make up the half marathon.

Not only is this my longest walk to date, our first break was at 18.5km, which is the longest single stretch I have attempted.

Goodness me, my toes ached like crazy when I removed my shoes during our stop.

We had brunch at the hugely popular Circus Circus, which is always a treat.

I am now quite weary but pleased to have reached this new milestone in my walking adventure.

• Walking log: 1 April

Shoes holding me well. 

Feet did burn but did not hold me back, same with my left knee, just kept going.

2nd April, a rest day with a special treat, massage and pedi. Body and feet saying thanks to both.
