First, let me acknowledge that today is the 2nd wedding anniversary to my second son Randy and his beautiful wife Danielle. Love them both greatly!
Alrighty then...I live in a pretty secluded (kinda sorta) forested area by Kempenfelt Bay in Barrie, On. My walks usually involve windy roads with some minor elevations in my neighbourhood. Today I decided to set out of these boundaries and head towards a Shopper's Drug Mart on a major road called Big Bay Point. I did not know the distance and so neither did I know how long it would take me.
It was much shorter distance and time than I had anticipated. However, I totally lost myself in the walk imagining myself on a Camino path.
One of the highlights was walking past a horse farm. I stopped of course and took a picture and gave thanks for the blessing.
You will notice from the photo included that I am wearing Vibram Five Fingers shoes. I am in love with these. Bought a couple of pairs since last summer and if I am walking (unless it is in dead of winter) or kayaking I am wearing my Vibrams. My plan is to walk the Camino in these - they are light, comfy and I could not feel more secure in my footing than in these. Enough said! Before I leave for the Camino, I will contact Vibram and see if they won't let me have a pair to test on the Way!
Again, I was surprised at the distance and time - my walks are usually 1 or two hours. I was hoping to increase that time by going in that direction. In the end, my distance was 10.71 km, 2 hours 3 mins and my pace, consistent, at 11:31/km
Till soon!
