Surprisingly, I’m really enjoying the pre-sunrise run. During the day, you pass by these commercially provided landscaped grounds on a college campus that are dull and hardly worth admiring because they are so incredibly common. Annually planted expanses of white and red pansies are hardly breathtaking. The thing with the early morning is that the air is modestly perfumed by these flowers, and the wild flowers and flowering “weeds” provide the stronger aromatic backdrop. The cool air and the gentle breezes that are barely noticeable provide the perfect environment for these scents to mingle. Today was only my second early morning run, but I’m slowly loving it.
The animals are out there too. I saw the cutest skunk this morning at a good 20 yard distance. It looked like his white bangs needed a trim, and he had to stick up his nose in order to get a good look at me before scampering away. I also passed by a happily married mallard couple, waddling about near some bushes. Maybe they’re not married yet, and I had saw them in the middle of their waddle of shame!
As for the new shoes – no complaints here. The Kayano was a bit harder on the first run than the 1120s, and the 1120s offers way more medial support. I’m tempted to say that I actually like the 1120s more than the Kayano, but it’s far too premature to give that as my formal opinion because the trial comes in around the 200th mile.

To my surprise I am also really enjoying the a.m. suns as well. i feel as if I have the world all to myself. Peaceful feeling!! My husband, on the other hand, still thinks I am nuts.
