Yesterday I did a 4 mile walk around Sawyers Bay, over the hill to Blanket Bay, then up the hills in Roseneath. It was one of the walks from the booklets I have from Paul Hayward. He fills the walks with stories of histories, past and present of what happened here, what's still here, what was here, who died here, who lived here, what almost happened here etc etc. I really enjoy them.
The pace is slower because of all the reading and gawking, but I get to places I never would otherwise and I climb hills I might have avoided otherwise and I walk a little further than I might otherwise as well. I'm tired at the end, but it's nice to tick another one off and think about which one I'm going to do next.
I think this was my first time to do longish walks on consecutive days. I wore new shoes, without the orthotics. Today, I'll try then with the orthotics for a short, strenuous walk up and down the hill to see how they feel. The weather is quite changeable here. I was too hot yesterday for the way I was dressed, yet it was chilly the day before. Ya just never know.....

Sounds good!
Are you carrying any weight on your walks?
Are you using your Nike/iPod thingy? How is it holding up?
