Now that the time change has finally happened, we are getting to see the sunrise again during early morning runs. This is one of my favorite things about running early. The last several months, we missed the sunrise by almost an hour because we run so early on the early days that it was still DARK when we got done. Never having been a morning person prior to starting my "running life," sunrises were not something I used to be excited about being awake for. I have learned to love them. The song "Light Up The Sky" by The Afters always goes through my head when I start to see those first pinkish orange hues heralding the coming sunshine. Sunrise is such a renewal, symbolically as well as literally. "A brand new day that's never been touched," as one of my friends likes to say. Being one of the people that gets to glimpse that first hazy, colorful light feels special. And knowing I got to see it AND get my run in feels amazing.
