Comments:
feels so early! when you usually lazily wake up at 8:30 and then suddenly jump out of bed at 7am for a run...well its a bit of a shock. but it didn't take me long to realize how much i'd missed the morning. wow it was so peaceful and silent. everything still...the only time you really hear the birds. i was feeling pretty lethargic (i'm sure it didn't help that i hardly slept last night), so my legs just kept an amazingly slow pace. so much for today being a fun speed/tempo day! but...
as soon as i got on the bike trail i felt a sudden urge of excitement and go fast. and i did. (well, relatively). i did pass a pair of french speakers and this woman jogging with a double stroller :p there were so many more people out than i expected! there were no men jogging. it was interesting: it was like there was this sign saying, "all men on bikes! all women, jog or walk!" well i guess i followed the rules.
when i got off the trail after 7min, i jogged pretty slowly back home.
feels so weird to show in the morning. the only time i ever shower this early is at xc camp.
