I'm lucky to have lots of walking options without having to go anywhere in a car. The local rail trail is an excellent start but the nature of rail trails is that they don't have much of a challenge if you're just walking. The good thing about the area around the rail trail though is that there are numerous bush tracks that have some excellent hills in amongst them. So yesterday, after spending a bit of time procrastinating and planning my goals I took the dogs out and did a 6.85km circuit that included a couple of nice hills. The good thing about this circuit is that I can add a loop to it that uses the hills twice and adds another 2 and a bit kilometres. The 6.85km took me 1 hour and 7 minutes and burned 714 calories and I'll go out again today and do the full "figure 8" circuit for comparison.
I'll also start the other training and keep a log here for reference and reflection.
