As age is catching up, I had been trying to be somewhat consistent in doing brisk walking at the gym. My level of stamina and speed has been improving so I had decided to put it to the test outdoors. This is the very first time I am trying to complete a full round of bedok reservoir of 4.3 km.
I started at 5.43pm and completed by 6.27pm. I did this all from just brisk walking, clocking about 5 minutes every 500m. Alright, better than at the gym where I clocked 5 min for every 400m!!
I felt great! I felt I could still walk on! Didn't feel any muscle ache TILL time for bed! It was so uncomfortable to sleep. Turn left, thigh muscle ache, turn right, the same but on the other thigh. Luckily, since I am relatively "seasoned", I was OK the next day. Yay! Now the question is, how to lose the weight! It's not easy, especially when I can see I've burnt 200+ Kj, I happily eat the CNY goodies freely, with no restrain!
I've told Bert, if we can, we should try alternate Sunday evenings to walk. We did this as a couple without the kiddos, and it was fun....couple's time in the car and when ta-paoing dinner for the family. Plus the weather was good. Had a viewing of 3 pieces of the Berlin wall too, and 3 kingfishers in a tree and people water-skiing on miniture boards. Cool!
Love Theresa
