My husband had a particularly loud snoring night, the last time I looked at the clock it said 1:30, I thought to myself if he keeps it up for much longer I will just do a morning run. But he must have calmed down shortly after I thought that. So I ran my normal loop after work, there were still some icy/snow parts on the parkway but for the most part it was clear. While I was running up I could see that the sun was setting because the peaks of the mountains were pink. I was running east. When I turned to run back I was completely and pleasantly surprised to see half the sky lit up like it was on fire. As I ran back it changed from brlliant golds and oranges to pinks, violets and grays. Right as I got out onto the streets just the very rims of the clouds were violet and there was a thin bright pink line on the horizon. It made me remember all the times when I was a little girl my Mom would call me out into the street to see the sunset. I can say one positive about all the pollution. It sure make a fantastic sunset. Laps: 9:00, 9:15, 9:07, 8:59, 9:08, 9:06, 9:05, It felt very fast even though my times don't really show it. Harder then it should have. I think I was trying to hurry and get my run in before it was completly dark. My left knee is really bugging after I run. It dosen't hurt when I run but bugs right after and when I sit for a while. I will try to be better at icing it.
