First Wednesday Morning Outside - 2009

We finally get a clear Wednesday morning here in the Midwest lands of springtime storms. It was beautiful. About 60°F, clear sky. Venus, Mars and (what I’m pretty sure is) Jupiter surrounded around the crescent moon. Fantastic morning.

Had a new guy out today. For the protection of the innocent (him) and guilty (me) we’ll call him The Cowboy. Glad to have him.

That was all for today. The Cowboy did pretty well. I’m not entirely sure how hard he pushed himself. Maybe he gave everything he had. Maybe he left some in the tank. I really don’t know. However, I’m pretty sure he enjoyed himself, he’ll come back next Wednesday and he’ll push himself just a little harder each time he comes out. He seems like that kinda guy to me.

For whatever it’s worth, I’m just happy to be back outside to sweat under a Wednesday morning sunrise.
