Light in the sky when I awoke! Wonderful to see. A long, bright horizon. The actual sunrise took a while, but boy is that nice. And a fattish sliver of moon in the dark SSE sky.

The sun comes up over the Sutliff bridge these days.

I walked 2/ran 1 the weekend of the 7th & 8th, as it was so warm -- 40s. Then I ran 1 after work Tues and Thurs the next week. Just had a 3-day weekend (Presidents Day), and walked 2/ran 1 each of those days, even though it was much colder -- 20s. This week, due to work and weather, no running after work, and the coming weekend is going to be even colder. I hope I will have the discipline to go to the gym. Next week looks to be warmer, but also precipitous. But hopefully it will become a daily thing again soon. I am SO unbelieveably out of shape and overweight.

Sunrise at Arrowwood

This morning, through my wonderful kitchen window, I watched the sun peek over the eastern hills a few minutes after 7 am. The sky was clear, the temps in the single digits, and the air and ground were frosty with remnants of Friday night's 4-inch snowfall. I had on GMA, as today is a company holiday (Presidents Day). The sun just showed a gleam as the opening music was ending, and visibly leapt up as Diane Sawyer began the first story. It rises so quickly!
