go west young man

i slowly rolled myself out of bed this morning and got geared up for my morning constitutional. temps were in the upper 30’s and the rain had paused. i headed south toward the glacial drumlin trail where i noticed the train that i normally "race" had a head start on me and was rapidly heading out of town. i ran up a small hill and headed west on the glacial drumlin to run parallel with the train but since it was already at the edge of town it was moving at a pretty good rate. as it headed off into the distance, it quieted down and i was alone running in the dark.

i turned around after a little over 30 minutes and 3.5 miles to head home. facing east, i could see the beginnings of the sun rising as i made my way back home. i turned off the drumlin and zig-zagged my way back to comanche…avoiding the rabbit that had ended up as road kill. i made it back to casa cameron in a little under 59 minutes and hit the shower.
