Up very early Saturday, my run began at 5:22 a.m. under a star-lit sky. The streets were free of traffic as I headed first south and then east. The sky slowly lightened over the eastern mountains and the clouds reflected a multitude of color until the sun rose at 6:16. Having paused to take in the breath-taking sunrise I turned around on Warm Springs above the big hill looking down on the valley and Sunset Station and headed west and uphill back home. The return trip of the 11-mile run had the sun at my back and the sun lit up the western mountains of Red Rock for an equally scenic view on the return trip.
I was a little achy at work but I didn't care because it was my Friday and I'm off Sunday-Monday over the Labor Day Holiday weekend. No major problems at work as the major focus was watching college football games.
Haven was good last night with no more surprises. I got enough supplies for the weekend so with any luck I may not have to leave the house till I work again on Tuesday. I'll run from the house and do yoga at home. And of course there's plenty of fresh veggies to keep me alive. My bp was 129/80 a little higher than I'd like but still acceptable, blood sugar was 87 incredibly low for a diabetic and pH was near 7.0 when I'd like a 7.4. With all the numbers so good I may have a beer or a glass of wine or two (transition) but when this weekend's over it's back on the straight and true healthy athletic path.
