We are having a bit of a heat wave here, so I got up at 4:15 again today to run to avoid the heat, out the door aound 4:25. Here is what I learned today:

1. my "hood" is very quiet at 4:30

2. the birds are not awake at 4:30

3. blowing pollen shows up in the beam of your headlamp

4. if i am going to run for an hour in the am, I need fuel

5. It takes about 40 mins for my "digestive system" to wake up

6. let the DH know when I am expected home, he was pulling down the street to come look for me. He is very sweet.

I did 6.6 miles 58 mins, so right around 9 mm pace. It was already 70 degrees so i am so glad that I got it done.

Ok, time to morph from runner girl to teacher woman...off I go....circulatory and respiratory systems on tap today...woo hoo!
