Part 2/9:
I woke up early, bright and early at 4:30 a.m., eager to start my training session for the day. The air was brisk, and I was mentally prepared for my tempo workout that included several miles at a challenging pace. Typically, I leave my house at this time, but I often joke with my friends and family about the dangers of the main road I must traverse to get to safer running routes. I've been waiting with eager anticipation to move into our new home, which would provide me with a much safer environment for my runs.
