Crunchy ‘Nanas

This was yesterday’s sunrise. It was so gorgeous, I just popped out of bed and ran for the camera. I can’t say whether I actually put my glasses on to take the picture or not, but I like the colors anyway.

Two hours later, the clouds blanketed the sky and it was completely gray and snowing. I dressed myself in my running gear and sat around the house all day in my really yellow warm hat, letting the snow (which didn’t stick) and rain pass before being pushed out the door by Crunchy husband. He couldn’t join me because he’s nursing a broken shoulder blade after being hit by a car while riding home from work last week. (Apparently, it really does happen like in the movies: car and bike collide, rider goes over the handlebars, across the hood and onto the ground in front of the car. Scary!) I think it was just a convenient excuse to stay warm, read the paper and eschew all house cleaning duties.  Ha ha! (But, actually I am really sad for him. Grown man can’t tie his own shoes.)

I had a calm, quiet 3 miles around the fields, chilly but not freezing. I felt like I was moseying along, stopping to take pictures and such, so I was surprised to see my time at the end of the run (28:00). Maybe the cold makes me run faster?
