Walking to Safeway

Today's walk takes us down scenic Sand Hill Road at the leisurely pace of
about three mph. After an interlude in Rivendell Safeway,
during which provisions in the form of yogurt and beef jerky were
obtained, we return on the slightly more strenuous Sharon Park Drive. The
return trip is mostly uphill.
Stats: time: 1:04; avg: 110; max: 139.
Walking on flat ground at my old pace of 3mph gets my heart somewhere in the 100-110 bpm range. I can walk for hours at that pace as long as I stop every hour or so to take my shoes off and let my feet cool down. Otherwise I get blisters. Which I'm close to, right now.
