Club’n
31 August 2009Tim and I decided to go run around the LSU lakes this morning to get a change of scenery.  Now, I have never been running at the lakes only drove around them. I already knew the scenery would be pretty and I had an hour run and Tim had about a 2 hours tops.
We drove into the parking lot and it was crowded. People circling to get a parking space. I felt like I was at a night club except it was daylight and the popular drinks were water and Gatorade. Anyway Tim and I found a parking spot and got all our “club gear” on and I realized my I pod was dead. This just cannot be I just charged it Wed. Oh well back to the truck to put it up. Tim took off with out me. I did not mind that because we were not running together anyway. I finally head out and it was a great morning to run, the sun coming up over the lakes BEAUTIFUL! I felt like I have joined a new club of exercise junkies. People everywhere running, walking, and biking. I cannot tell you how many times I said”hello” or “good morning” to people. I crossed paths with Caroline Owens and Megan Andrews some Tri friends. Said hello to the same little old couple about three times and before I knew it I was back at the truck. Six point five miles in an hour and eight minutes. Feeling good about that run. I was hoping that Tim was having as good a run as I had. Can’t wait to go back next weekend to the “Club”.
Until next time keep looking up because that is where He is.

Glad you enjoyed your first run at the Lakes! I sometimes feel like I should just carry a sign that says “Hello!” or “Good Morning”. Everyone is so friendly out there in the AM. Good luck with your training!!
