Because the Marathon this Sunday starts at 4:30 AM I have been working on starting each day this week earlier and earlier, which incidentally means I have been needing to go to bed earlier as well. Morning runs are different from afternoon runs. I like the feel of both, but it has been awhile since I did an early morning run. The long absence made the return sweeter.
Tuesday morning I had a great start to my run, the sky was red and purple and orange. The weather was cool. My legs felt fresh. Thursday morning my run was under the stars. Again, cool weather. The roads were wide open. I saw a whole mess of bikers biking together and thought, “I should get a bike.” Whooshing along empty streets together looked like fun. It looked peaceful. It looked like a good way to start a day.
