Walking 9: “I need to bump up my miles”

While away recently I continued to walk almost every day. I had some very fine, long walks in Victoria and Vancouver, for example. But some of the walking was upon a train, from my seat in the lounge to my seat in the dining room.

Now I’m happy to be home again and have enjoyed getting back into my regular routine this past week, i.e., three or four walks per week, 60 - 70 minutes at a time. I need to bump up my miles, however, because the rack of lamb and prime rib in the train’s dining car are still affecting which notch I can reach on my belt.

So, I’m thinking about goals for this coming week:

At least four long walks, one-hour plus in length.

Repeat three hills per walk

Add a new 15-min. loop to my regular route 

Stay away from rack of lamb. Eat more veggies instead.

Carry a camera. London is full of pleasant views.

That oughtta do it!
