On Saturday, August 3, 2019, I had the good fortune to have the time, physical ability, and motivation to walk through a portion of the #GrandRoundsScenicByway along some or all of the shores of the #ChainOfLakes in Minneapolis, Minnesota, including Brownie Lake, Cedar Lake, Bde Maka Ska, Lake Harriet, and a glimpse of Lake of the Isles. Next time, I will be sure to wear sneakers instead of sandals, as my feet are a bit worse for wear. It was due to both that and the desire to attend a family event that I was not able to walk around Lake of the Isles. #LessonLearned Special thanks to my friend Holly from @dazzleties for recommending an excellent sunscreen and to Alyssa from the @LIDS store at @ShopMaplewood for helping me to find the perfect @Twins ball cap. Without them, I would be a lobster. 🦞 If you had told me not that long ago that I would undertake an eleven-mile walk, I would have dismissed it as unrealistic, but I have taken inspiration from a few people for whom I have a great deal of respect. That said, I also recognize that it is insignificant in comparison to some other people's fitness practices.
