January 13, 2013

Today was a gorgeous day in Central Florida.  Clif and I ventured out to Baldwin Park for a 5K walk in preparation for a 5K I will be doing in February.  I have been jogging on the treadmill, and the best time so far is 43 minutes (and I am totally exhausted).  In case you can't tell, I am not a runner, nor do I like to run.  That being said, the treadmill is not going to be the same as jogging on the streets.  I came to that realization when I was jogging in between muscle toning exercises at bootcamp yesterday morning.  By the time I jogged around a very small retention pond, I was winded!  I had to jog around that thing 4 times!  Needless to say, I am stiff today.  But, training must go on.  So I decided I could at least walk.  We did 3.61 miles in an hour.  I didn't think that was too bad considering the pain I was feeling from yesterday's workout.  I wish I would have taken the camera because the scenery on the lake was beautiful.  Sailboats, kayakers, and paddle boarders were scattered about the lake, and the lakeshore looked like a crowded beach.

This evening, a bright light caught my eye out the front window.  At first, I thought perhaps the woods were on fire, but upon closer look, it was a firey sunset, just aglow with a variety of orange hues.  Absolutely stunning. 



This is snapped using the regular setting.  It wasn't quite as bright as it really was, so I decided to try the vivid setting.



This was too bright, but I think you can get the idea of what beauty I was able to see.
