Today's 10-minute walk is helping you keep the fitness promise you made yourself, and

we'll add another link to your growing fitness chain. This morning's walk is happening

lakeside, and I use the term lake loosely. We have behind our community a lake, and I don't even know how to describe the size of the

lake. It's a man-made lake. So when they built this area, they put in all these lakes. I guess

they're called to some degree sediment ponds. We live in Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, just two miles

from the ocean. Obviously, tropical storms, hurricanes are a real threat, and we've had a couple

impact us since we've lived here. No direct hits, nothing that caused really any kind of damage.

And so they have all these lakes, I think, I'm not a civil engineer, but I think these are

for storm runoff because I've noticed before a tropical storm moves through the level of the

water in the lake actually drops because all the lakes are connected.

And so they can actually drain the lakes so that as the storm comes in and we get all this rain, there's a place for the rain to go.

So when I say I'm walking lakeside, understand that it's not this beautiful, picturesque lake near a mountainside.

It's essentially a man-made reservoir.

But it does have fish.

People will fish here.

This is the lake that had the alligator.

Didn't see the alligator last year.

Saw it the year before.

A little four-foot alligator.

This lake has also been the home of beavers at one end of the lake.

There's a dam that the beavers have made.

And so it's a nice lake, but it's not a lake that people vacationed beside.
