As expected, a tough week for running. If I had really had the urge a few miles in the morning on Tuesday or Wednesday could have happened but cold temps and rain drowned any chance of that. Instead, this morning was the first run of the week and it was short one at that.

The clouds have broken and the rising sun filled the wall to wall blue skies. There was also a setting half moon. With the sun on one horizon and the moon disappearing at another it is easy to see how the moon and sun relate to each other in space and why I can only see half of the lit moon from my vantage point. I pondered this relationship as I cruised around Chestnut Hill on on very happy and well rested legs. 4.7 miles in 36 minutes.
