Perfect walking weather

Since the beginning of the year I have been walking more - not walking the dogs, but walking briskly on my own, aiming to walk between two and three miles a day on 5 days a week. In the first week I was walking just 2 miles a day and it took me about 58 minutes  - 29 minutes per mile!  Last Friday  I did 2.43 miles in exactly 60 minutes - just under 25 minutes per mile.
Today I reached my goal of 3 miles (actually 3.27) in 75 minutes - 23 minutes per mile!!!  I check the app during the walk and was pleased to see that today I walked at the same speed for the whole walk - previously I got slower towards the end. I feel better for it and look forward to the lighter mornings as I prefer to go out before breakfast for my walk then take the dogs for a play at the leisure centre later in the day - at the moment they go in the late morning and I go in the late afternoon.
The pic is of the riverbank - the river on one side and the road on the other - from one bridge to the next is just under a mile  then I come back through the village.
