the more and more time I spend in Burlington the more and more I fall in LOVE with it. to continue with my haphazard running routine as of late, I decided to run a loop along lake champlain which is def the most gorg view you can imagine, especially when i run in the late afternoon and the sun’s setting over the water with the mountains in NY as the backdrop and little sailboats cruising around… get’s me every time. so i found a route on a map where i can run about 4.5 miles along the lake and loop back to downtown, but of course i once again kinda messed up with remembering the place markers and road signs so i went waaay far past where i meant to. all in all, the run ended up being roughly 6.5 with a mile and a half long walk back up the hill (learned my lesson the first time). whoopsies but it felt good and then i stopped in starbucks for iced water because they’re supposed to give you that shiz fo free and when i asked for it the guy barista made a disgusted face when he realized i didn’t actually want to pay for it/have money and reluctantly handed it over. baristas these days.

went on another run around the lake tonight and every time i go down to the waterfront i think “god this would be such a pretty pic” but i’m usually running and therefore don’t have my cam, but i always think about it.  one of these days i’ll prepare and take pictures of the pretty sailboats at sunset!! and it will reinforce why everyone loves vermont.
