Pretty In Pink

Today starts my road trip to Ralston, AB. It's about 1700 miles from Princeton, although I'm starting from West Lafayette this morning. I was originally going to have company on the drive, but my co-pilot was rear-ended on her way home from work yesterday evening. She's pretty shaken up and has a "crunchy" neck and a major headache. I'm so glad it wasn't serious, but I'll miss her on the drive.

The sunrise was awesome this morning when I was out running. Here's some original, not-so-good, corny haiku (pun intended):

In traditional 5-7-5:

Hoosier sunrise blooms:
Sun peeking through corn tassels
against pink blue sky.

Let's try 3-5-3:

Sunrise blooms:
glowing Sun peeks through
corn tassels.

This was a really nice run. I forgot to check the weather info before I left, but it was fabulous. Since yesterday was a hill day, this was supposed to be a slower run, but it felt good so I just went with it. Best time by 5 minutes for the route.
