This morning, I decided I would give myself a treat and go to a community center by Green Lake to the pool there for a "hydro-fit class" (an aqua jogging class). After the last few weeks of pretty intense running, I knew the water would feel good to stretch them out in the water. I ran over to Green Lake (only about 1 1/2 miles to our house) and tried to go into the community center to sign in for the class at the pool there. The door was locked and I noticed that the sign said it would not open until 10:00 (another 20 minutes).
The sun was shining brightly and the water was calling me from the lake to just go for it and take a dip there. Why not? Much better to be outside than in a muggy indoor pool.
I went over to the beach area which is packed in the summer when kids are out of school, but I had the whole area to myself and I decided to join the ducks for 30 minutes as I did my aqua jogging on my own. And it did feel so very good to take a break from pounding the pavement.
praying today for a respite for you and for some refreshing surprise
(even though I have a feeling your surprise won't have anything to do with ducks)
especially since that look in the mirror the other day...
