Three Mile Hike at Lacamas Lake

Today I decided it's been too long since I've done any training. To ease back into the routine, I went for a hike at my favorite neighborhood trail along Lacamas Lake. I walked for 30 minutes, which got me just beyond the 1.5 mile trail marker. Then I turned around and walked back. I decided not to do any running, just in case my knees decided to revolt. During my hour-long hike, I saw several fish in the lake, a cotton tail rabbit on the trail, and a deer in the woods about 20 feet off the trail. It was so refreshing to be outside and moving again. The forest is thick along the trail, and ferns cover the ground. I'm so lucky to have this trail so close to home!
