This is yesterday's post. Just ignore the date.
I've been involved in a kids day camp all week so I've had to be out of the house by 8:00 (I know, J. Sleeping in for you!). So out of necessity, I've been running at 6:00 a.m. I do this during the school year but only a fool gets up that early when they are on holidays! (Once again, case in point J). But I was reminded how much I enjoy those early runs. People tend to be happier early in the morning. That makes no sense whatsoever but I get more smiles and waves from people driving by. I run into several other people also out getting their exercise (1 other runner, 1 dog walker and 1 lone walker - also a raspberry picker). The sun on the quiet lake is spectacular - no motor boats, no noisy kids or sea-doos. It really is a wonderful time of the day to be out. Hopefully I can motivate myself to keep at least one early run a week for the rest of the summer. It's a great way to start the day. A.
