Walking between the piers

A cooler day in Durban and good for walking.

We were back on the promenade for another stamina outing and walked two lengths and a bit to make up a 15km non-stop walk. Half the daily distance that we would be doing along our Eco Ventures Ultra Walk in August.

Fred was running up and down dunes and the beaches to get me photos of the piers along the way, his energy always amazes me, but today I found it demotivating me as I do not have his stamina and strength and never will.

The walk did not flow easily, I was aware of aches and felt each of the 15 kilometres.
So even having walked more than 600 kilometres, I have to work on each and every walk.

Total kilometres to date: 606

Had an indulgent rest day with my sister Doreen and her kids so this morning Fred and I were up early for a fast power walk which felt great. I also had a revelation that I need to eat something like a boiled egg before our long walks, I think that the coffee and rusk before the 15 km early in the week contributed to my lack of energy.

Total kilometres to date: 610
