Urban Sunset

The best of intentions don’t always play out the way I intend. Before going to bed last night I set my alarm for 3:30am. Waking up this early would have been enough time to run nine miles and then bicycle to work. When the alarm off this morning I started crunching numbers, looking for a way to sleep longer. The first reset was 4:30am, conceding the bike ride to work. On the last reset I set the alarm for 5am, which was enough time to run 6-7 miles before work, leaving the remaining miles to be run at work.

The first mile was one of the toughest miles I have run this year. With a lot of determination I stayed the course and started feeling better after the first mile was under my belt. I cranked up the music and cranked out the miles. I ran seven miles before leaving for work.

It’s been a busy day at work. This evening I ran two miles around the station to complete the scheduled nine miles. I was treated to a nice summer breeze and a beautiful sunset.
