5 miles this morning. Beautiful sunrise! One of the best I've seen. There's a thick band of haze on the Eastern horizon from some wildfires (not sure where they are) so the haze diffused the sunrise and completely lit up the horizon with oranges and reds and yellows. It was amazing. Then when the sun finally popped through it was a solid orange. Amazing.

Didn't push it too hard on the run as I'm a bit tired. Need to get more sleep before my 8 miles on Friday and 20 miles on Saturday. So, a cat scared me today. I was nearly home, running past my neighbor's house (1/4 mile from mine) and on the right side of the road there's just tall dried grass, 2-3 feet high. I hear a noise to my right and then suddenly a cat jumped out onto the road right at my feet! I screamed like a little girl and jumped into the air. Then I looked around and I don't think anyone saw me. It freaked me out. I'm normally the one doing the chasing, as I scared away a herd of 50 deer this morning. But this cat had the drop on me. Time to change the shorts.

Cats. I love cats. Too bad I'm allergic. Too bad about your pants.
