The Weekender

This lovely Canberra weekend began with the goal of walking 10km. Mr. J and I started in Campbell, and just decided to see where the ‘path’ would take us. Which, in the end, was over some mega hills and all the way around Mt. Ainslie!

It was such a lovely morning with the sun out, but a cool breeze. So many kangaroos around, and some joeys too.

Eventually we reached the back of Hackett, and we were surprised that we were that far over, then we followed the Ainslie link, before taking the Campbell Link Trail, hoping it would bring us back to, or at least close to where we started. Luckily we guessed right, and we were only 1.8km over our initial goal of 10km. When we stopped to look at the map, I was amazed at our achievement. And, even better, I felt so awesome afterwards!

I even managed a couple of jogs in there… attempting to boost my calorie burn and reach the ever elusive 1000 SSS 12WBT calorie target. Not quite, but pretty close. And just really happy that I felt so great, a year ago I would have been suffering through, let alone jogging!

I am now looking forward to trying out other walks around the Canberra region. I am thinking Googong Dam might be next on my list. Who’d have thought I would enjoy this so much!?
