⭐ Why I Ran This Lake

My husband found Moss Lake about a week ago, and I wanted to log some trail miles. It looked like a great opportunity for a change of pace and to test out my trail skills.

🏃 The Run

Eight laps around Moss Lake totaling 8 miles. This was a moderately challenging trail and the roots tripped me up a bit but overall it was a productive workout.

🌅 Scenery Notes

Moss Lake is a quiet, wooded destination with a peaceful atmosphere. The trails wind through trees and I was able to get glimpses of the lake.

🍽️ Post-Run Fuel

French toast and bacon at Ace’s.

🗒️ Notes for Next Time

A great place to log trail miles and each loop is about a mile.
