Early Runs

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.
