4 am we got up to get my long run in. We got the headlamps out (something I haven't had to use in a long time) and headed to the canal. It was fun running in the pitch black on the canal. Actually it was probably pretty scary if I was doing it alone. We were able to watch the sun come and reflect in the water...all pretty sweet. We turned into Green Lakes, went around the lakes and then back to the canal to head home. I got in 15.5 miles all before 7 am., showered and headed to work. It was a great start to the morning.
