Around the Lake

Yesterday morning, I finally did something that I've been wanting to do since we moved out here last summer: I ran around the lake.

I was thinking about it the day before but kept second-guessing myself--mostly because it was unfamiliar territory and I wasn't sure how I'd do without water. But yesterday, when I got out there, I just couldn't help myself. It was early, just before sunrise, and although the air was moist, it was cool for July in Florida. And so off I went.

And about an hour and a quarter later, I made my way back to the home side of the lake. Sweaty and thirsty, yes, but glad to have made the trek.
