I woke up this morning at 5am to go for a morning run. I saw about 5 other runners out there, a couple walking with dogs, and a few early commuters. It was really nice out, maybe around 75°F with a light breeze. I didn’t bring my iPod Shuffle, and it was great to hear the morning sounds, mostly crickets and the pounding of my feet on the sidewalk.

I usually do a post to log my runs, but I also keep a log over at RunningAhead.com. If you are interested, you can check out all of my exercise data there. RunningAhead is a great site, that slices your running data in different ways and let’s you input the courses you run using Google maps, and calculates distance based on that. You can also enter in shoe data, so you can see how many miles you put on shoes, and if you enter in the price you paid for your shoes, it will show you how much it $/mile it really is. You can also enter in other types of workouts if you want, but the site is mostly focused on running. There is also a nice community forum as well. Best of all, it’s free!
