Yesterday the temperatures went over fifty degrees so I thought it was time I made my way back to the canal for my first walk of the season.  While I started a little chilled (there's still some ice on parts of it) and had to pull my hood over my head, by the time I was halfway around I was warm enough to actually break a sweat.  Unfortunately, the fact that I've been inside for awhile became all the more evident when I was wrapping up my walk and realized my hips were hurting - I guess I need to get back to walking a little more regularly!

The canal is my favorite place in Indianapolis.  I've always felt drawn to the water and I find my best quiet time by the water's side, so it's no surprise that the canal would be my favorite place in a mostly landlocked city... and now that I'm counting down the days until I leave, I want to make sure to take advantage of it as much as possible!  With the temperatures rising, I plan to get over there as often as I can the next couple of weeks.

Also, I wanted to take a picture but it's still getting too dark too soon - I guess that'll be the next stage of the season... I can't wait!
