back to reality

this morning the sky was clear and the temperatures were lower than yesterday. i geared up and headed out the door to greet the low 30’s and patiently waited for my GPS to sync up with the satellites.

i rolled down to the glacial drumlin trail and headed west, out of town. there was no moonlight this morning, only stars to light the way. at about 2.5 miles, i fumbled with my watch to see how much time had passed and mistakenly reset the device. i kept running along and started the timer from zero once the GPS found itself again.

i estimated a 3.5 mile turnaround point and began heading for home. the area around the trail is rather swampy and i could hear some big splashes in the water as i ran by. i made the turn back into my subdivision, climbed the big hill on commanche and hit the shower.
