jazzed

I did three miles last night around five thirty, right before it rained. It was fantastic. The light was so dramatic--the pink edges and dark middles of the clouds and the way the light slants at that time of day. I felt like I could keep going when I hit the middle of my loop, but instead I turned back and made it home just before the rain started.
This morning I did a quick two, just out and back, since I was up early and it usually makes my day better(and I have a phone interview today! For a job I think I'd like way better than this one! Oh to hope...).
The air was cool and I started out in long-sleeves, a true luxury for this time of year. I couldn't decide, when I was leaving my house, whether I would regret more wearing shorts or wearing pants--at the last moment I remembered a pair of capris I bought for biking, and wore those. This is something I would only do at 5:30 am. Running in stretch capris sort of screams '80s fashion sense to me.
I read an article once about "jump-starting" your metabolism by running in the early morning (before eating) and then again in the evening (and not eating anything afterward) I've tried it a couple of times in the past, though never for any longer than about a week--when I run every day I tend to hurt myself more frequently.
I think I may try it next week. I could use a "jump start".
