Heading Out

Its 5:40 AM, now, 45 F....a far cry from the hard freezes of the past mornings. The moon is hazy from the clouds and light fog. When I step outside, I can smell the moisture, possible only because of the warmer air. I am going to have a good run today, probably do some repeats over Mt. Tendinitis.

The run did not go as easily as expected. I was a little tired from yesterday's deadlifts, though my stride was crisp and quick.

The morning is the image of fall, black trees stretching long, bare branches up to a sky made gray by the clouds and pre-dawn light. It reminds me of the desolate, lonely art of Evard Munch. The English Puritans saw Satan in the shadows of this desolation. One hundred and fifty years later, the American Transcendentalists saw the face of divinity in the same view. I incline more to the latter's disposition.
