Morning Runs

Morning Runs

There is really only one reason to get up before the sun rises to run early in the morning, and that is to catch the sunrise. I have a good route that runs into Bear Creek State Park where I do 1 minute and 2 minute fartleks on a section of closed, flat road. It works perfectly, as the road is almost perfectly flat, no cars, and I can run all out in short efforts. My distance per time increases as the sun comes up, and I'm usually treated to an amazing sunrise.

I like this shot, I could be in Africa or somewhere...
