Perfect running conditions this morning. Temperatures in the low 50's after a thunderstorm rolled through yesterday evening. Legs felt great, although there was a little soreness in my left upper hip. Started pushing the pace at the four mile mark. I probably should have brought my headlamp as there were sections that were pretty dark with debris from the storms of the last couple of days. Saw Venus coming up over the mountains in the east. It was so bright that for a few minutes I thought it might be some kind of aircraft. The last mile and a half it was light enough to see the road surface. Finished around 6:25. |
