Lovelies, I'm here to tell you, that I'm am in agony! Yesterday while off for the day, I was going to go back to the Raven Resort to catch some rays, but it was overcast, as I thought I would go up to the lake early and do my walk/run. Peace Valley Lake is a huge man made lake just minutes from the Casa du Borghese. It's eight miles the whole way around, and three days a week I go up there when the season starts and start walking around the lake. Eventually I end up walking and running my way around and by late summer I can jog the whole thing. Well, yesterday, I went up and not even 6 minutes in, don't you know a major downpour hit!!!! But it was fun running in the rain, and kept me cool, even though I was soaked! Today I was in major pain, as every step I took hurt like hell. I think I ran a little further than I usually do, so I took it easy today! But the lake is quite beautiful to see, don't ya think? And their is a ton of wildlife to see. They even have a nature center and a bird habitat.
Arrived and getting started.
A tyical view of the nice wide path, very wooded!
Hard to believe all this is only 18 miles outside the city, isn't it?
My break at the halfway point, enjoying the rain drenching me.
The little walkway to the dock.
One of the many cranes that can be found at the lake.
I do believe David Dust had spies there to check up on the Mistress! Had to post these for him.
Tonight after work, yes, I worked, I came home, stripped and laid flat on my back. I know, what else is new, but boy did it feel good to get off my feet! Tootles!
I hope those rabbits didn't put a hex on you!
ReplyDeleteBTW - My Bunnies were EXTREMELY upset that you didn't break off a piece of Stella Derr and give it to them. Greedy Biatch!!
ReplyDeleteXOXOXOXOXOXO
Talk about fitness! I don't think I could run down my block yet and you not only ran around a lake you did it in the rain lol.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous pics too, good job!

love the crane pic, and your shoes...... be careful of the lurkers, they love those nature reserves running trails.
ReplyDeleteThat lake looks huge! 8 miles is a lot of running. And what was that in the shorts?!?! ;)
ReplyDeleteWOW, great shots! That would be the most relaxing run. Oh and if it's not going to far, nice hairy legs! A bit of a turn on!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe that's a man made lake! IT'S HUGE! Very beautiful though.i could wear some of those flowers in my hair. And I agree-sexy legs!
ReplyDeleteDavid- I did have some Stella Derr's but they got soggy and fell to bits!!
ReplyDeleteCraig- Thanks for the nice comment. I am still paying for the long distance run!
Todd- funny you should mention lurkers!!!!!
Cali-Boi you really are bad!
ReplyDeleteMahoganyempress and Brodes, thank you for the kinds words on my legs, I do enjoy my gams!
What a wonderful place to go run!…a simple walk inspiring such prose…the inspiriration right under our nose…
ReplyDeleteLooks absolutely beautiful! Althought your details of the run have me exhausted! And that heron is stunning, you got pretty close!
ReplyDeleteLove the LEG shots!Gorgeous lake! Hope the run was a good one.
ReplyDeleteWat a lovely carefree moment of bliss to run in the rain! I think everyone should do that from time to time!
ReplyDeleteSo lucky to live so close to the lake, we would love it. It looks like you had a wonderful day. You could have entered a wet tee shirt contest huh?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful lake! Love all the nature and the quite. Living in Philly it's hard often to block out all the city noise, one gets over it in time. And I was going to say something about the wet clothes, but I'll leave that alone!
ReplyDeleteYou poor thing! I the hell did you run so far anyhow? But I guess this is better for a change than your legs hurting because of....nevermind!
ReplyDeleteA refreshing run based on the current heat wave. I recently ran in the rain in Florida and loved it.
ReplyDeleteLove....
ReplyDeleteIs always the most important thing.
