Smells of the a.m.

Friday a.m. was 8.2 miles in 50 degree weather and darkness. Winter is coming. I didn't run on Thursday because of the hard a.m. rain. My body appreciated the rest. Actually so did my big toe that keeps bothering me.

I planned on running six miles then I thought " I'm not in a hurry to get to work today". Eight miles it was. I just love the smells of the morning after the rain. The smell of cool crisp breeze, the smell of the freshness of the morning, and even the strong,yet fragrant smell of the man I ran past who was walking and smoking  a joint.  I think I felt kind of high for at least .40 miles.

Keeping with the theme of freshness and the last Friday a.m. run of the month, I ran to Revere Beach. Then I was able to take in the smell of the ocean.
