It's in the doing...not the posting

I've run twice since I've written a post about it.

Last Wednesday I ran late. It was almost dark when I left the house. I ran Otter Trail. Then I stopped at my friends house for 2 reasons...1. I noticed that she left her car door open, and 2. I needed to talk with her regarding swim team. She is the president.

It was a nice run. Much better than the day before. Although I got in trouble when I failed to return home. Opps!

My second run was Saturday morning while we were at the cabin. I got up early (7am) and was out there running by 7:30. There is something so special about that time in the morning. The air was cool and fresh. The sky was crystal blue. A new day was happening, just like He promised.

I got to try out my new headphones. They work GREAT! What I like best is that the cord hangs down my back. Now it doesn't get in the way of my arms. My hands can't accidently hook on the cord and yank the buds out of my ears. YEAH!! One less distraction.

I ran down Valley View until I came to a fork in the road. I can't remember the name, but I turned left and followed it around the lake. This is a nice route because I don't have to go back the way I came. I can make a loop.
At the cabin there are spots where the sun never touches the bumpy pavement. Bumpy from the winter snow plows and completely shaded by the ridiculously tall pine trees. You ARE in a forest. You are in Calaveras County.
If a dog barks, everyone will know because the sound of his voice echos. Don't bother with cell phones, internet or pagers...they won't work here.
Walk your dog, read a book, relax on the beach or do like I do...run. Breath in deep and thank God for blue skies, glassy waters and green trees.

One down side...mosquitos. They are vicious! You will need deet.

Tomorrow I will try to post some pictures of the lake. Lakemont Pines.
You'll have to go to Wavelength for that.
