Kim and I go Rucker Walking 🚶‍♂️

 Kim and I start out a 3.5 km walk start of May long weekend Friday afternoon 

There was frost this morning and lots of fog in the river bottom but up on top of the coulee there was no fog. 🌫️ 

A decent walk, over by the iconic Sunridge Bridge 🌁.  I am well above my weekly exercise for relative effort each week for my exercise routine 

The exercise is decent I feel it in my stomach the most, or it could just be I’m hungry 🤤 

Plus 10 Celsius for a walk.

No for real though my abs are tight from walking with 30 lbs around the park.

3.5 km in 55 minutes

351 calories later my average heart rate was 121 bpm average, my max was 138 bpm.

Kim says she likes my pace with the weight cause it slows me down to every two steps of hers I do one so she feels she can keep up better. 

Average pace per km was 15:44 minutes. Not bad I figure. Going to try to relax and watch a movie tonight with Kim.

Strava says I was mostly in the endurance zone for most the exercising.  So that’s good 😊 

Most of the entire walk was in easy heart rate mode.  But I even know with lifting weights that can be exhausting and straining also walking with a 30 lbs weight in my pack makes me feel like every muscle was being used.

It sounds like you had a great walk and a solid workout! Walking 3.5 km in 55 minutes with a weighted pack is impressive, especially since you’re engaging almost all your muscles and maintaining a good heart rate zone. 

Your effort clearly paid off—burning 351 calories and keeping in the endurance zone is fantastic for your fitness. Plus, having Kim alongside seems to make it enjoyable and motivating for both of you. 

Relaxing with a movie tonight sounds like a well-earned way to recover.
