Four Miles!

That's right! Four miles! I walked an entire four miles on Wednesday.

Austin really is a great city for those who would like to get in shape outside. We have a bit of the Colorado river cutting through downtown, and because it's damned on one end, it's called "Town Lake", although a more fitting name would be "Town river".

There are hike and bike trails going all around Town Lake with pedestrian bridges connecting the two sides. You can choose to do various loops between the bridges. The one I did was Mopac bridge to Pfluger Pedestrian bridge, which is technically 3.47 miles. I plan to do it again on Sunday. My knees allowing I'll do the same loop, if not, I'll do Pfluger Pedestrian to South 1st street loop, which is 1.56 miles.

I want to do a 5K in April, and am thrilled that 3.47 miles are 5.58 kilometers! So Yay! I can def. do it.

Back in my thin days, I did this loop at least once a week, often times more than that. When I met my now husband I stopped doing it and spent time with him instead. Oh! the perils of romance.
