Are you a morning person? Many people are. If you are up close to sunrise, you will see groups of people out running in Greensboro. Many are affiliated with sports teams; others are individuals committed to being physically fit. The above photo features the male cross-country team at UNCG meeting up for practice.

They are training for the Upstate Invite to be held in Spartanburg, South Carolina. The average race for Division 1 College Men is usually 10K or 6.2 miles and 6K or 3.7 miles for D1 College Women. We caught this photo at dawn, just a few minutes befre the streetlights went out for the day. Nothing inspires a morning run than being part of a running group. Here’s to a great weekend to the Spartan runners and to the rest of us!

Happy Friday!
