Running with the Supermoon

This morning I went for a 30 minute run, and I was lucky enough to catch a glimpse of the Supermoon as it was setting. A Supermoon is when the moon is full and close to Earth. The last one was 18 years ago I believe.

While it was a cloudy morning, I was able to see orange slices of it through the clouds. It looked so beautiful. The moon and I go way back. I am old enough to remember man setting foot on the moon in 1969. My folks woke me up to watch that moment. Religiously I watched each moon shot as a kid. I thought it was the coolest thing in the world that people could land and walk on the moon.

I have watched moon eclipses. I have seen every shape of the moon. It is such a fascinating thing to me. I also enjoy running with it in the morning. Good to know it's there, shining brightly up there - like a beacon.
