Hubby got us on the park connector network, and we walked a total of 10km over 2.5 hours, from Simei to Bedok camp and then back again, with a half hour break for dinner and drink. That was on Thursday evening from 6-9pm. My ankles ached a little, and there was a slight strain on the muscle/nerve at the back of my knee (which eased by the next morning) and my feet needed some massaging. But did i sleep good that night!
We walked again on Saturday evening. This time, as my ankles were still very slightly tender, i asked for a shorter distance. Hubby promised that we will walk 3km, at the most. We ended up walking about 5km from Bedok Camp to East Coast Parkway Food Village.
We spent a leisurely hour with my in-laws, including our niece and nephew, flying the kite (one single kite, and we had to take turns) and playing snakes and ladders, before having dinner. After dinner, it was time to head home. We walked to the bus stop almost 2km away, took the bus, and then walked again.
A grand total of 17.5km.
Thank God i recovered quickly this time as hubby made sure i warmed down, though my big toe feels somehow out of place. :D
So yes, walking is relaxing and therapeutic, and good for the body.
