The lakeshore is very muddy in places. When running around this part of the lake one has to accept that legs, feet and shoes will get plastered. There is one place where there is about three feet depth of fine silty mud and to hit that when running is interesting. You sink almost immediately to knee depth and, if you give in, you can sink still further. This particular patch is 'safe' in that it has a bottom, but squiggly enough to make it a little hard to get out. The experience is actually rather enjoyable (don't people pay good money to have mud baths?), although part of the enjoyment is the unexpectedness of it, so it doesn't repeat so well.
Getting muddy is not so bad when one can get clean again - fortunately there is a lake close by...
