My 7.8 km (4.8 miles) were done in 55 minutes. As Harry said (I'm paraphrasing slightly): When me wind up me bottom, me go like a rocket.
Listen to the music and check out what some areas of the beach looked like more than a week ago as a result of our winter storms (no hurricanes).

Shake it all de time...
Storms are a challenge of living on the Ocean, but then you have those VIEWS!

DeleteI wouldn't trade this. Anywhere you live offers weather challenges.
Almost 5 miles per hour gives new meaning to "Mitchell is Moving".
ReplyDeleteAnd moving fast!
DeleteFrank and John: I'm always looking for new meaning.
DeleteYou would be one great 'pace' setter, Mitch! YOU are a walking hurricane!! lol
ReplyDeleteJim:
DeleteIt really does all depend on what song is playing when I start out.
I've always liked Harry Belafonte, even though Archie Bunker claimed he was just a good looking white guy dipped in chocolate.
ReplyDeleteStephen:
DeleteI had forgotten that Archie Bunker line!
Too bad that palm tree lost its head! Weather can be exciting. Right now we have sargassum washing up on the each after some high winds out over the Caribbean. Hope that ends soon - it is a mess for us to clean up. Lots of floating plastic trash came in with the seaweed. We use the seaweed for mulch once we get all the plastic out. Up to 8 40gal-sized bags of plastic and only 1/4th done!
ReplyDeleteWilma:
DeleteSo rare to see a palm tree torn apart by the wind. I've seen them bend to the ground and straighten back up again. That's great that you can use the seaweed!
As others have mentioned, that's a pretty impressive pace. What else did you listen to?
ReplyDeleteShawn:
DeleteI have an old Workout Mix that includes: Prince, Springsteen, REM, Fine Young Cannibals, Robert Palmer... Quite a variety. All energizing.
Loved the music... but after the winds here (in Texas) a couple nights ago I'm not sure I want to hear about hurricanes and tornadoes....
ReplyDeleteSharon:
DeleteOur weather is settling into spring. Winds are gentler and less frequent!
What a quick speed you walk! Do you walk by yourself? I find when I walk with someone I walk a bit slower as I yack so much.

DeleteFor exercise walks, I prefer being by myself. I can tune into my music and completely tune out from reality (no political conversations, no stressful subjects). I tend to walk even faster when I'm with someone (the conversation, I think, makes me more hyper) and I'm always being told to slow down. For a stroll, I can enjoy company.
Beautiful seaside dining, love the view.
ReplyDeleteLaurent:
DeleteThe chiringuitos can be really charming. That one seemed a bit risky to me that day. If you stepped off the patio, you stepped into water.
