A Cracker of a Day in Cairns

Something beautiful this way comes. That's precisely why I ran toward the sun as it rose over the Coral Sea. Young lovers embraced on the pier watching the dark relent and make way for the majesty of day's first light. I don’t think they noticed as I passed them. Numerous other people populated the boardwalk of Cairns, Australia, most for their morning exercise. None of us could ignore the sensational sight across the water.

The area beckoned fitness enthusiasts, if not for the stunning views, then for the multiple running/walking paths, permanent fixtures to complete resistance training, and a park stage where a large group assembled for early morning yoga.

I enjoyed the refreshing run, and inhaled the crisp ocean air. In route to and from the pier I was overwhelmed by numerous birds with calls unfamiliar to my American ears. This is the very best part of running on vacation and running in particular.

Get a great start to the day. Run.
