Walking the Lakes

Saturday was gorgeous. So, I hijacked a friend and we went to walk the lakes around LSU. I also tricked her into walking them both.... which is just under 6 miles. I didn't really let her choose. I wanted to get a good walk in and wasn’t sure she'd be open to choosing the same route. ;-)

Anyway, it was wonderful. It was such a beautiful day and it felt great to be outside exercising. And, even better to enjoy the company of a good friend.

Plus, I haven’t done it in years. Truly, it's been like 10 years since I walked the lakes and I was still very heavy then. I realized on the walk how much my quality of life has improved. I was active before. But, my weight was a barrier. It doesn’t seem so exhausting or difficult now to walk the lakes. It feels exhilarating.
