Nora, Lake Enid and its friends are all Army Corps of Engineers reservoirs for Mississippi River overflow. They close the parks for camping from Mid December to March and let water out in anticipation of the Spring melt and rains. The water is usually at 60 ft so it was about 30 during our visit and they were still letting water out. The good news is that this gave us a lot of beach to walk around. And no we didn't go swimming, Cindy ran into the water's edge and ran back out again!
SB, the weather was nice for us. We started out our walks in layers and stripped off jackets as we went. I can tell you the heaters in the RV work! there a heater in the fireplace for the big room and then there are vents in the floor so we can choose what we want.
We had a nice time. 3 days of not thinking about the election or anything else negative. Just walking or driving around. Most of the fall color was gone but there were a lot of pine trees. We had a fire on the last night. It was a bit chilly for it but nice. Yes, I roasted a few marshmallows! And I'm still doing laundry!
My workout was a new to me Caroline Girvan UB. This was diabolical! We held the peak of a ub exercise for 25seconds {such as an overhead press} then did the exercise for an another 25 second. Pre exhausting the muscles. She told us her weight in KG so I have no idea what she was using but it looked like a 8-10. I think she went too heavy because she kept dropping her arms during the holds. I was using 5's.
LIC from Coach Mich followed. Slow paced and repetitive, I wasn't very excited about this one and didn't finish the last couple minutes
