Wow!

What a sunrise! The funny thing is for many years I've been an early to bed and early to rise kind of guy. It comes from having East Coast customers calling at 8 AM. Their time. But while I notice that it goes from dark to light, I rarely look outside to enjoy the sunrise. Well, that's tough to miss the sunrise when the beauty of the morning is laid out right in front of me!

I started out this morning bright and early (well early) with my cup (plural) of coffee. he holidays are one of my favorite times because one of my favorite coffees is available - Trader Joe's Gingerbread coffee. Mmmmmm.

I was out the door at 5:40 and on the trail at 5:50. Before I started though, I had to snap a photo of an absolutely stunning canvas.

The run was an easy 3 miles. Averaged a 9:30 pace at 75% of max heart rate. And I finished up in time to take one more picture as the sun was getting closer to peeking over the horizon.

Tomorrow it's a hill workout. First one in several months. Woo hoo!

  4. Gorgeous view Glenn. That coffee is making my mouth water this AM. I like running in the evening myself but I have had to work in some AMs due to my new schedule. Have a great Thursday!

  7. Looks like the training is going well!! Glad to hear that. I would imagine finding hills to train in your neck of the woods is no problem-- probably overlooking a beach somewhere-- I am soo jealous!

    Sounds like your Trader Joe's ginger bread coffee addiction equals my obsession with Starbuck's Pumpkin Spice Coffee-- I cannot get enough!

  9. Thanks for the tip about the shoes, Glenn. The very first time I got fitted for shoes was Fleet Feet and they fitted me in the wrong shoes. This past time, I went to a Fleet Feet only a different location and much more educated about the type of shoes that my feet need. I'm going to give my shoes a couple more whirls and return them if I don't like them.
