When the stars align...

It's better to start out slow and get faster and faster over time, than to start out too fast and be forced to slow down. I reflected on this during my running session and (as you can see) the stars were truly aligned for my run this morning...
(those might not actually be stars but I reserve the right to view them as such, especially at 6am)

I felt good and my legs felt rested (it's amazing what a difference a good night's sleep makes). I contemplated doing a 5K run, but decided to stick to the 30 minute session and have a longer cool down and post-run recovery time.

Morning run summary...
The weather was really good. It didn't feel too humid and there was a gentle breeze even though the weather app doesn't reflect that. I was still sweating profusely despite the nice weather...
The Milepost quote for today accurately reflected my mood and thoughts this morning (and how I feel about my early morning mid-week run sessions in general)...
Running in the morning is always a peaceful time for me, even when I am working on speed or my form or endurance. I have a better day overall when I start it with a running session (too bad I can't run every day).

I also did my Day 25 wall sit challenge today (before I ran)...

The rest of my day was filled with the typical work stuff (blah). There was nothing to get excited about until I got this...

The WINGS FOR LIFE WORLD RUN is BACK!!!! (I'm excited can you tell???). In case you didn't see the race recap post I did, for the inaugural run in May this year, you can read about it HERE. And if you want to learn more about the Wings for Life World Run, the organization (and what it does), and pre-register for the 2015 world run event you can do that HERE. I did a lot of fundraising for the organization's world run event earlier this year and I'm probably going to do the same thing for next year as well. I'm also going to try and get more people to run and support the cause (check out the links when you have a moment).

Did anyone do the Wings for Life run this year?

What cause or organization or foundation do you run for (if any)?
