If you had told me at 18 that I would look forward to getting up at 4:30 am to go run of all things, I would have seriously doubted your mental status!
But I do. I do look forward to it.
I didn't the first time I decided to try it. But then I stepped out of my door and there was a full moon lighting up the sky! It was like God was saying, "Here, I left the light on for you!" (And it was bright enough I could have run by moonlight if not for all the street lamps.) What a light!
The next time I spotted the North star! And the time after that I spotted Orion, looking like he was cheering me on.
And nothing can compare to the cool crisp air of early morning. It is so invigorating and refreshing! I am much more at home in what others would deem cold than the overpoweringly heavy humidity and heat of the day. I can't wait to run in the snow!
To come home before anyone else in the house is awake (well, beyond our two kittens who think I am up just to play with them) and get a hot shower or bath is pure bliss. I am much more able to handle the challenges of the day to come, and feel much more energized. I have even noticed that on days I don't get up and run I miss it.
Now if only I could get myself in bed earlier....
