This morning I directed myself southbound for a jaunt along the boardwalk by the beach. The air was dead still, clear and chilly with the sun just peeking over the horizon. Frost covered the timber of the boardwalk, the sharp angle of light cast by the rising run revealed every bump, warp, knot and any other feature you would never see in the midst of the day.
A good run for Thursday, 9ish miles in under 1:20 which granted a reasonable pace when you account for the warmup, the hill climb back and the occasional detour as I waited on changing lights. It's always neat to watch the city wake up and progress through the morning from the light traffic of dawn to the congestion of rush hour. The beach itself is always a welcome target and not something often seen by our local populace at that time of day. For me, it's just somewhere to go, since I'm out there anyway. If I'm going to be covering a bunch of miles it may as well be a nice bunch of miles.
