45 min

It was raining heavily when I went to get changed today and I commented out loud that I was not feeling very motivated about walking today. I got delayed with some work and the rain had stopped when I went out. My gps took ages to find all the satellites so I walked down to the waterfront and then had to wait for it before starting my walk. Once the watch was ready I headed off straight away but I was not warmed up and my heart rate went crazy for the first 2 km. I didn't feel at all stressed but the heart rate was high.

My first 2 km were slow - I hope it was due the the cold. I didn't want to push myself hard but I had expected to walk at around 6:30 - 6:45 min/km. Alas I could only manage 7 min/km today. The rain poured down again half way through my walk so I was glad when the 45 minutes was up.
