Last night I thought it would be a good idea to go for a long walk on Sunday, but I wasn't sure where to or how far I would walk. When I got up this morning I thought I would walk for half an hour and then just turn back. I changed into my exercise gear, leashed up Molly and hit the pavement!
I walked, and then I walked, and then I walked some more! When I first set out, I felt lethargic, and my legs felt really heavy. It was hot out today (for a change!) and the sun was shining so I just kept thinking to myself "just put one foot in front of the other".
I ended up walking almost 6 miles to Partick, which is in the West End of Glasgow. Partick has a great mix of pubs, cafes, second hand shops and restaurants! I kept walking until I reached a lovely little cafe and decided to sit outside (well I had to since I had Molly with me!) and enjoy a well earned Latte! The cafe was on the shady side of the street, which I think was just as well since we had walked for well over an hour in the blazing sun. I did stop a few times before this to let Molly drink some water, her tongue was hanging out!

As I sat here enjoying my Latte, I looked at the road up ahead to see probably one of the steepest hills in Glasgow! And I thought to myself "I'm going to walk up that hill!"
After I finished my Latte, I went inside to pay for it. I managed to catch my bag on the corner of one of the chairs inside the cafe and it crashed to the floor! Oooops! I was slightly embarrassed at first and then I thought "hey, sh*t happens!'
I headed out to tackle this hill that loomed towards me.
OMG! That hill was a bastard! I am not even kidding - I felt like I was climbing a vertical street! I would even say this street rivals those in San Francisco! I love SF!! One of my fave places in the world! Well, that and Orlando......

Can you tell how steep this street is from this picture?!? It looks tame here!!
I walked back down the hill, and headed home again. A few points along the way I really wanted to phone Kenny to come get me, but I kept going. My legs were sore, my hips were sore, but I kept going!
Poor wee Molly's legs were wiped too - she has been sleeping ever since we got back home =)
All in all, I had a fabulous workout! I burned almost 1200 calories and walked almost 12 miles, and earned 15 WW activity points!!
I hope to have a great weigh in on Wednesday - I'll see y'all back here then!
Until then, have a happy and safe July 4th!!!!!
