Morning Run on a Hot Day

It is days like today that I am thankful for 3 things; #1 that I am a morning person, #2 that Justin is not and #3 that I only work part-time. Why you might wonder? Well the combination allows me to go running, before Justin gets up for work, on my two mornings off. If he were a morning person too he would probably be up and getting ready to leave-which would mean no run (someone has to stay with Blake :)) Today was a perfect day for such an activity. I love a morning run on a day that is going to be hot. Today is beautiful, it is the reason I LOVE Seattle-the rain in the winter months allow for spring and summer days to be sunny and green at the same time. I don't know what it is about a morning run, but I have always preferred them. Maybe it is the sweet, crisp smell of the morning. Or maybe it is the sheer fact that I am a morning person. But I really think it has something to do with the fact that I have ALWAYS loved the feeling of being hot and cold at the same time-when I was a kid I would love to wrap up in a blanket in the car when the AC was on full blast or windows were wide open. As I was running this morning that same sensation occurs, my legs that exposed are cold from breeze of the morning air but my face and body are sweating from the heat that is rising. All that said is is a great start to the weekend and a wonderful reminder that God loves to give his children good good things-no matter how simple.
