Glorious morning

This morning was a glorious morning in many ways.

I am in Chanhassen, MN for a meeting. Two long days of sitting and listening. I have learned that a run in the morning significantly improves my ability to stay engaged during day two. So, I headed out this morning with a route in mind.

It is a beautiful morning, a little warm which was good since I only brought a singlet. The birds were chirping and it was a time where I couldn't help but enjoy the morning - despite the sun not being up yet.

As I headed toward the small lake I saw on Google, I saw two runners coming over to my side of the road. I thought they were two women, but as they emerged from the pedestrian tunnel that came under the road (Minneapolis area does a GREAT job of being pedestrian friendly!) I realized it was too men. But as one of them later said..... "I wear a headlamp, how dangerous can I be?"

I asked if I could follow them and instead they asked me to join them. Two very, very nice guys. It was one of those experiences that renews your faith in the kindness of humans (especially after watching the news about the heckling during the President's speech). Of course they had ties to the LAX area and I am sure if I had dug deeper there would be a connection we both knew.

It was a great short speed run with great company. It renewed my spirit in many ways. Thanks to Eric and Dan!!!!
