Beautiful Day

Photo op stop on the way to the lake.

Good glorious morning to you all. What a beautiful day for a run at the lake. Today was my second Wednesday morning fun run, organized by Go Outside and Play. Six runners turned out today, two more than last time I ran with them. Nick, Jason, Matt and two women whose names I didn't get hit the path at 6 for the 5-mile out-and-back.

Really, it doesn't get better for a morning run: friendly folks, beautiful weather, best scenery your gonna find in the area. The lake was active with a couple boats of fishermen and we saw a cyclist and a walking couple and a couple of other runners during our time on the trail. 

A cyclist passes on the berm at the west end of the lake.

As before, there was nothing on the trail to pick up. And again, that's actually pretty nice -- no trash is always nice. The ride home brought me a handful of cans and a condom (still sealed in its individual packet).

And now it is time for work.

Today's Stats
Temp:  61/70 degrees F (start/home)
Distance: 5 miles
Treasure: 1 Adam & Eve condom, still in sealed wrapper; 4 cans.
