Porthcawl Park Run takes place each Saturday. Its 5K from the harbor to Rest Bay and back.
On average there are about 300 plus runners, a lot doing it for a charity but many for the fun of it!
Fun?? I used to think that walking was boring, but I've got better and I must admit it has helped me. And it was a gloriously sunny day yesterday and it felt warm, so Dh and I went to the front promenade and had to park on the bit of road where Blue Badge holders are allowed to park. On sunny days people flock here and every where is crowded, so parking is difficult.
We usually park at the same place mainly because the pavement is tarmacked and so I don't have to worry about uneven paved areas. My legs are a lot stronger, but I still walk very carefully and I'm happy to let people over take me!! I'm still paranoid about falling so hang onto my wheels and with the physio's words still in my head, I lift my feel higher than I think I need to.
We avoid this 'pod' too tempting to have a short bread biscuit with a coffee. (It has changed owners now)
Friday when it was raining we went to Aldi to walk up and around their wide aisles!! We did buy some bits, but we still have our groceries delivered from Tesco.. if its too wet to walk out next week, we'll walk the aisles of the Coop!! At least I'm walking!

Fantastic! And what a beautiful day you enjoyed.
I'm also easily tempted by shortbread. Xx
It looks like it was a beautiful day for a walk.
Whenever I see runner I alway wish I could do that, but I've tried in the past and I can't, I do like walking though and that's better for the knees, ha ha.
I know whenever I get out of the house and either ride my bicycle in the warm summer, or this time of year take a walk through my neighborhood it does make me feel better. Just that sense of calm I guess. Love to see your photos especially that blue sky while we are having rain today.
I plan to walk more too. I like going out once I've stirred myself into action.
Walking is great exercise, I totally agree. xx
Good that your out there walking. I never think of walking as boring. It's a new adventure for me every morning. :)
Yes, Saturday was a good weather day.
Walking is such good exercise ... I enjoyed seeing your photographs.
All the best Jan
