7:00 AM, 58F, 80% humidity. I'm in Madison Wisconsin. Ran 6.5 miles on the trail near Lake Mendota on the campus of the university of Wisconsin Madison. Beautiful. I woke up at 6:45, opened the curtains and the lake is literaly 20 feet from my window. The sun just started to rise the rowing team was already in the middle of the lake. I did a quick morning routine and at 7 I was already out running. Did fast 6.5 miles on this mnice trail. Lots of people outside. It's a wide trail that in most areas divided to walker/runners side and bike side. Very thoughtful. My pace was good (7:46) eventhough I had little sleep. I'm coming back to NC tonight and tomorrow morning we are going to NYC! I hope to do my Sunday run in central park.
