Epic Bluebird

This morning was so quintessentially fall gorgeous that I had to go out and run. I wasn't planning on it this AM but hopped on the epic bluebird day and went out for 4+. I was bit tired from last evening's run -- i'm rebuilding the base -- but it was a decent run, and I felt OK. The day was so gorgeous that it couldn't help but be a good run. As I finished, and started my walk off a hawk flew right down the middle of the street, and there was another doing cicrcles in the distance in one of the most crystalline sapphire colored skies I've ever seen. Some days, it's wonderful to be a runner.

Quick Run

I went out this morning at about 6:50 AM.  I did my 4.021 (I love the thousandths) route and did it in 32:01.6 which puts me right around an 8 minute mile.  This run was one of those weird ones where I felt really slow, but I wasn't, and didn't realize it until the end when I looked at my watch.  I try not to look at my watch while I run.  One god thing was that this run wasn't an easy run but it wasn't crazy painful either -- it was a good solid, hard run and a a good workout on a gorgeous day.
