A beautiful morning for a run, but I got started late, again. I started doing some chores, got ready for my run, and realized I hadn’t eaten. I didn’t want to bonk, so I ate something light and did a few more chores. The temperature was not as cool by the time I left the house, but the streets and Monon Trail were mostly shaded. I decided to run north on the Monon until I ran out of shade, which added another mile to my run, but it felt good. I enjoyed the birds and butterflies as I ran, praising God for His beautiful creation.

On the way back, I realized that my cool down walk included about a third mile of street that would be mostly in the sun, at this point. When I crossed the road and started down the street, a big, fluffy cloud covered the sun where I would have been in the direct sunlight. I smiled and said, “Thank you, Lord.” I had cloud cover for half of the street and a little shade from trees for the rest. Since I planned on blogging the event, I looked for the street sign to find the name, because I just call it the street to the Monon. I looked at the sign and it read ‘Grace.’ How perfect!
