Peaceful at Sunrise

This morning I went for a nice run on the Monon Trail. How refreshing that it wasn't hot and humid like the last couple of weeks. The sun wasn't up yet as I started on my way.

Today's goal was to run in under 38 minutes. I tried not to think about the goal too much as I was enjoying the run. I could see light just beginning to appear about midway through my run. I would see glimmers of light in the sky through the trees.

The trail was not busy this morning. A few runners and bikers were out there. Most of the time I was on my own. Still the occasional good morning was said as runners would go by.

I ran the first half in 18:20. My thought was I would slower coming back. But a key for me was I made myself speed on the bridges. My last half was in 17:52 - negative splits. My finishing time was 36:12. I was winded, but I felt good on the run.
