Chilly early morning run

I dont know what it is about running early in the morning. The wife thinks I am crazy to get up to run. She's up anyway getting ready for school. She's a teacher. But I am still in bed at 6 am. I pop up; and I have learned if you dont do this quickly you will fail to do it at all. So I just throw on my running clothes and out the door. That's always the hardest part. Getting out the door. Once I do that its a piece of cake.

Well I had checked the news and according to NBC the temp was 37. Of course that's in NYC whereas here in lovely Ramsey, its always about 7 -10 degrees colder. Yes indeed it was. So the start of the run was chilly. But having learned to dress right I was fine....except for my face. OH did I mention I am growing a beard for the winter. This is out of necessity...not because I think it looks good. I've already been told it looks bad....oh well!!! Not trying to be George Clooney.

The run was great. My Garmin GPS is broken so for the last few weeks I have felt naked. Its actually kind of nice not having to depend on it and not being able to start a run until those damn satelites are located. Am I doing the right pace? How far have I gone. The hell with it; I just run. I know about how far and can tell the approximate pace by how it feels.


Well it was a great run. More later.
