A Little Sunshine Makes A World of Difference

Distance: 4 miles
Start time: 9:43 am
Run Duration: 42 minutes
Average Pace: 10.5 minutes/mile
Temperature: 70 degrees
Humidity: 73%
Location: Memorial Park, Houston, TX

When I stepped into the morning air, it was cool and damp. The sky was gray. Clouds filled the sky and my windshield was wet. I wondered if my Wichita State t-shirt would be warm enough for my morning run. Same story when I arrived at the park. I put on my sunglasses anyway. I feel like such a geek running in my clear prescription glasses but I can't see five feet in front of me and safety is important. I don't want to step in a hole in the path and break a hip. My sunglasses are prescription strength and look slightly more sporty.

I hadn't run half a mile when...

POW!!!

The sun broke through. It then decimated the clouds. They were gone - just like that. No mist, no fog, no nothing. It was suddenly a brilliant day.

My t-shirt was plenty, all right. Plenty hot.

I'm feeling on track as far as January goes. Have a great day, readers! Hope it's sunny where you are, at least in your mind.
