Walk: 20km
Pool: 30 minutes
A slack week, but better than doing nothing and, for now anyhow, I'm enjoying walking and taking time to look around my local area.
For the immediate future, or until I find a goal to train for, I'll continue with walking and the pool.

Walkabout....
OK....So for the past week I've started regular daily walking....not running! I'm just not ready for that, if ever.
Five to six kilometres. At left, is today's walk starting from home, to the school, through the main drag of Renwick known, not surprisingly, as Renwick Drive and back home.
Today: 6.4km in 1:04:11...I can only get faster!

On a Whim.....
After a picnic lunch at Lake Alexandra on Saturday, without rhyme or reason and not having run at all in the past two weeks, I decided to make a huge effort and do the Bankstown Half Marathon on Sunday. I think the motivation was to finish my 81st year with a bang!
It was a bang alright and a debacle as well : I walked/jogged the entire distance, nearly died on the hills and finished with a roaring headache in 2:39:40; twenty minutes slower than in Canberra two weeks previously! No other competitors in the W70+ age category so I got away with a medal! I was surprised that there were no other entries from any 70+ year olds....where have they all gone?
21.1 painful kilometres in 2:39:40 to end my 81st year!
