Since I’ve been restricted to walking instead of jogging, I’ve been trying to get in a little more mileage with Buddy in the mornings. We’ve got a new 4.8 mile loop that we’re enjoying and it has a few hills to get the heart-rate going a little, even at a walking pace.

5am still comes awfully early and I haven’t been friends with the alarm clock this week, but the day always seems so much better, knowing I got out to do something in the morning.

Obviously I’ve been taking my camera with me, which helps occupy my mind a little bit, though I have to say there’s not a lot of light to work with at that hour of the day. It also becomes quite a challenge, doing the same thing every day but trying to make different pictures.

The mornings have been cold all week so I dressed accordingly, only to discover it was about 15 degrees warmer than normal today, which had me sweating quite a bit.
