I wouldn't blame you if you'd told me our first official major training expedition was going to be rained out. But two people, bleary-eyed, had rolled out of bed at 8.30 on a weekend morning, and neither of us were about to back out.
The first couple of kilometers we walked with our hoodies and beanies on and our heads down. And then the winter sun came out and it became the perfect formal debut walking session.
Fort Nepean was formerly a strategic military location at one end of the mouth of Port Phillip Bay - now it's a gorgeous, windy, beachy, mostly flat place to explore, and safe I think as long as you stick to the paths.
We clocked up more than 11kms, strolling, meandering, thundering and even running. Our footsies got sore but our legs were long and strong. We had coffee in a thermos. We had an apple each. Oh, we had Smarty chocolate!
After so long with some pretty dull but necessary priorities, I can't tell you how fulfilling it is to spend a whole relaxed day making our bodies strong, taking photographs, and reacquainting ourselves with some of Melbourne's beauty.
Here's happy Jason:

What's the weather gonna be like at the camino?
It'll be early to mid Spring when we walk it so I think we can expect rain and fairly cool nights, but hopefully overall things should be heating up!
does that beanie come in pink?
