Bike Chick, that 9 minute mile is awesome!

Yesterday's run reminds me why I love this so much. Started out around 6:30 am, when it was still dark. But the moon was shining, and I could pick out Orion and 2 planets despite the city lights. About a mile down the road, I realized what felt so strange-- the cold dry air and the smell of wood fires spoke of fall, but the sounds were those of the summer insects. Kept on running, and saw dawn start to creep across the horizon. Ended up running further than I had intended, the changing colors on the clouds were so enthralling. 7 miles at a slow pace, with many smiles per mile.
