Just over 2 miles with 4.2k completed on my pre work walk this morning.
Walked at a very fast pace on a very mixed up route.

Nice ! Quite fresh here very first thing. What kind of pace per mile is fast for you for reference ?

Thats pretty brisk. Anything around 15 mins per mile isnt a bad canter imo. I'm normally around 17 mins 30 secs with dog in tow. Thats likely around the same pace as you - but then there's the sniff-stops
When i used to really speed-walk (As fast as i could go without actually leaving the ground and putting load on my joints); i often got into the mid-12 minute range per mile. I'm still not sure that was entirely joint friendly though. So i try to keep to no quicker than 14 mins per mile if i'm on my own these days.

And certainly no sniff stops

A more normal paced walk this morning just over 4k steps so around the 2 miles.
Another Mish mash of a route but I started and finished at the same place so it worked

The aim was to do 3 miles every day minimum to start the day in 2025. Mostly managing around 3.5miles - as today. And around 5 miles on each weekend days. So should beat my target with any luck….

That sounds like a lovely walk! Hartland Manor and the beach must have been such a refreshing experience, especially with the dog enjoying the grounds. Not exactly a walk, but I recently cycled along a coastal path near my area. The fresh sea breeze and the peaceful sounds of the waves made it an amazing ride. Might have to check out Hartland Manor for both walking and cycling next time. Thanks for sharing!

Cold and grey today. Took the bus to Bruntsfield. Followed the new cycle path from Fountainbridge to Roseburn, then the Water of Leith home. Several dippers singing, saw first crocuses and daffodils of the year. Lots of hospitality tents being set up around Murrayfield.

Nice walk this morning just around 4.5k in steps so about 2 miles.
Found a new section of footpath that leads to the posh houses I thought there was one but just never found it before because I had never turned right at a junction

3.5 miles minimum every Morning this week…..in the dry ! Not a bad achievement at all for Mid January. Tiny bit blustery with the U.K. Storm today …..but it does look like Lowestoft is going to escape the worst of it.

Saturday Morning. Circa 6.45am. Lowestoft walk departure timed to arrive on the Beach at Sunrise.
Via the War Memorial @ Peace Park we trod:
Over the newly refurbed bridge at ‘The Ravine’:
Macy said she’s sure she read about some Coastal erosion down there…..🤷♂️
“SEE (Sea ? 😉) - Got it. Told you Dad” !
And finally through the woods for a good snuffle before Breakfast at home:
4.5 miles. And a hearty breakfast earned. ***Also marks our monthly target of 100 miles despatched already for January 😁

Too much risk of ice for the bike so on with the boots.
Sure enough pavements and roads crossed were slippy and icy .
So gentle pace on a new route just short of 4 miles and 7300 steps.
Daily average of 2.6 miles so rising slowly.
