I woke up early to go for a run. There was a full moon last night, so I definitely did not feel rested even though I woke up without an alarm at 5:30 am. I am just a morning person early riser crazy woman. I forced my lazy butt to get dressed in my running clothes and headed down to lake for my weekend run.
It didn’t feel particularly early until I arrived at the lake with the view of the moon still out. 5:45 am with the big beautiful round moon still shining in the sky. It looked absolutely gorgeous. i wish that my cell phone camera could have captured its beauty.
It was a chilly morning which was perfect for my quick little jaunt around the lake. I tend to keep a good pace when there is no one else around. It’s funny, I just get super vigilant and cautious when I am running solo. It probably sounds goofy and paranoid, but I just want to keep myself away from any possible harm. There are lots of crazies out there. Anyways, I kept a good clip and finished my run 1 minute faster than normal. Not necessarily breaking any records, but my 10 minute mile with no stopping feels great for me.
I am super excited for hopefully 3 consecutive days of morning runs with this lovely 3 day weekend upon us. I so rarely get the chance to run during the weekdays, so I am looking forward to getting an extra day on the road.
Hope everyone is having a safe and fun Memorial Day weekend!
