Running into the Sun

Ran 5.2 miles yesterday -- the farthest I've gone since starting in March. I love my Sunday long runs. I know that for hard-core runners 5 miles is nothing, but for me it's definitely something. Yesterday's run was one of my best so far. The weather was perfect (sunny, low humidity, hardly any wind), I started early, and there were lots of parts that were east-to-west.

For some weird reason, I feel strongest and fastest when I'm running eastward, into the sun. Maybe the sun feels like a new beginning, the start of something. All I know is that I like the feeling of the new-day sun on my face and the hope it brings for all the things that can be accomplished and enjoyed.
