nice sunrise run, still reasonably cool in the mornings. this is my only timed run of the week & I kept to a 9:15-9:20 pace which is fine for this old tortoise. I also run w/out my ipod as this run is in the neighborhood & I like to be able to hear what’s going on around me. some of my neighbors seem to think it is fine to let their large dogs out to run early in the morning. I don’t like that kind of surprise. it’s very pleasant running early, no one is out, just me & the birds singing, couple heron flying over on their way to fish, box turtles, one raccoon, & a pink & orange sky to finish. have a great day!
