No filter needed on this beautiful view |
Today I completed an open water swim, although it wasn't much of a workout. The water was perfectly calm as I entered and just the right temperature. I took my time and just enjoyed the fact that I was in the water swimming. Not sure if anyone would understand, but the smell of the lake just screams summer and I love that my fingers were all wrinkled when I got out. After my swim, I grabbed a tea, and headed to the Dingle Tower. It was on my summer bucket list to visit. Boy....am I sorry that it took me this long to get there. It was so beautiful and peaceful. I sat on a rock wall and watched paddlers and boats go by.
I would like either of the boats in the background please! |
I made my way to the actual tower and climbed over 100 stairs to take in the view. AMAZING! I think I'm going to grab my book and head back to this little park in the future. I'm really trying to just take time to relax and be thankful that I live in such an amazing place!
Having said all that, I did put in more kilometers on my feet than usual this week. 2nd skin is giving my feet a bit of a reprieve from my blisters and allowed me to run a 10km run.
Tomorrow is a one mile race across a city bridge, and then Monday is a 10km race which is new to me. I'm hoping to possibly break a new PR if all the stars align.
Now it's your turn, finish this sentence for me: I go to _____________ to relax and be in a happy place! In the winter, it's my bathtub...in the summer, I am always able to be in a happy place at a lake or near water!
