10 km early walk

[Doris8]

I thought I would get wet and I did. Just as well had on baseball hat and a light hooded jacket that goes into a small bag.. started 2 km dry then the drizzle and then the heavy rain around the duck pond, typical duck weather. Cleared up for a while jacket off again, and past the train station , that took about 5 km , then walked to a small village over the red brig . On the way back started heavy again , and thought not far away if i do 10 km instead of 8.5 km. Decided to walk along the river for a while nice and still and back over the chain bridge to get home , which was 1.5 km from there. By then dry but still good walk. Took about 1 hour 37 . Back home and Mr D preparing brekkie. Mr D ran a 5 km and said hamstring a wee bit better so good news.

sun coming out here so hopefully can sit in sun. Looking forward to commonwealth games.

Beautiful pics, as always. It makes me want to cross that bridge!

Great to hear that Mr Ds hamstrings are good and 5k, woohoo!!

8.5k is even more awesome!

Yes it was 10 km . Was going to do 8.5km but decided to carry on for 10km as walk along river would bring me up to that. Must have worded it wrong..

10k sorry! 🤣🤣 those 2km do matter! It will take me until the end of year to train up to running 10k again. Haven’t quite been able to schedule in regular walks but still always trying 🤭😏.

Lucky you. We are dying for rain in the south east. Dry as a bone, continental heat and outbreaks of fires.

Yes agree it’s just a personal thing about walking in rain for me, not meaning that we don’t need rain

I don't like walking in the rain, but as said by people before me: the rain is needed. Here in Belgium too, the earth is soooo dry! And the danger is that if it starts to pour heavily, there will be floods like last year in the Ardens when so many people lost their homes and their lives.

Anyhow, that is another 10K in the legs!

Yes agree we need the rain and we had some last night but not enough, but it’s just a personal thing. Thank u yes another good walk.
