... whatever. I was up bright and early at 6 am this morning and on the road, running at 6:30. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE doing this. I can't tell you the last time I was able to. See, I have to get the proper amount of sleep the night before, or an early morning run is a no-go. I consider myself a morning person. I like to get up and start the day at the beginning of the day. I am usually pleasant. The more sleep I get the happier I am in the morning. As I stepped out on my porch today I could smell skunks, cigarette smoke, and fresh asphalt. All of which I expect to smell in the morning and generally don't mind. The sun was coming up over the Urban Nature Reserve as I ran by it and it was a beautiful sight. A nice man waved me over to his car and asked directions to Wal-Mart. (Which I gave eagerly. I love to give directions.) There was an old woman riding a bike w/ a basket on it. A man was roller-blading. The guys at 84 Lumber honked their truck horns as I ran by and it startled me. Really nice people are out and about at this time of day, and if I am sleeping b/c I went to bed too late, I don't get to see them. I was back home by 7:20 and the kids and Jack were just waking up. Perfect timing. Peace!
