And you reckon an 11km walk is fun???

Yesterday I went for a walk with five girls from Adventurous Women. We walked from Hillarys Boat Harbour to Burns Beach, then had breakfast at the cafe.
Having not done anything like this since I was a young woman, it was a bit of a marathon taking us 2.5 hours! We didn't dawdle either, we went flat out, with me running the last couple of hundred metres just because I could! And it felt fantastic.

My feet got sore and I had to take my socks off, then put them back on at different points in the walk. My fingers swelled up and went white. But when I got to Burns Beach, I was so proud of myself for having made it with style. It just proved to me that I really am the 'I can Woman' that I say I am.

Inside me there is a part of me that is saying that it wants to run a marathon...

That's quite a way down the track, as I have 40 kilos of weight to lose before I go there, but it just shows me that if you tune into your body, it has a voice all of it's own. I hope I have the guts to get there one day.

The beauty of our walk is that it is along some of the prettiest coastline in the world. Perth is absolutely beautiful and it is free! How rare to be able to freely enjoy what God has created. I guess that one day they will monetise it, but for now I'm going to make the most of it.

I encourage you to get outside and to taste the fresh air, the sea breeze and the joy of exercise. It's fabulous medicine for the soul.

Just so you know what coastline I'm talking about, here's a sample...
