Round the Bays 2

Only one week to go until the event. We just went on a 6km walk/jog around the waterfront. The total length of the course is about 7 kilometres. What we have done is drive the course and work out a landmark for each ½ k mark. Then we park the car at one point, walk/jog a known number of ½ k’s and then back to the car. For me and Sophie, a brisk walk is 10 minutes per kilometre. I’m up to walking ½ k and jogging for ½ k. I was pleased with the time we made tonight, but a shame about the headwind that came up on the way back.

It was really nice coming round a point and seeing the fountain quite a long way off and watching it as we ran toward it. We also watched a cargo ship being guided into port by a couple of red tugs, and there are other joggers and dog walkers of course. Quite a few people have fishing rods (often more than one per person), and they seem to have buckets so I suppose they are catching fish, though I haven’t stopped to ask anyone.
