...and there's lots of runners stirring. It was a magnificent morning, and clear and cloudless from horizon to horizon. The view to the west from the top of the bluff was breathtaking.
Chilly to start, though. I did a repeat of last weeks run, heading up the hill toward Bow Trail once past Crowchild, and then through Wildwood and down the road to Edworthy. By the time I past 14th Street, I was warm enough.
It's a much nicer run in the morning, with the sun shining, than it was last week, running after sundown. There were lots of dog walkers along Spruce Drive. The downhill leg, while long, was fast and fun.
Past Edworthy and back toward downtown, and the traffic picked up. The sun was low and in my eyes and I didn't mind at all. The ice was floating in chunks scrunching and crunching against the ice along the bank, and it was actually piling up a little against the 14th Street bridge.
Fast and fun, but not an eventful run. Just a lovely morning, lots of sun and lots of people.
