Six Before Sunrise

Thursday morning I got up early in order to run my scheduled six miles before heading to my part-time-tutor-job for the day.

I don't usually get up before sunrise.  I NEVER get up before 5am.  But I did this week.

It turned out to be a glorious start to the day.  When I got to the park to start my trail run, I discovered nearly a dozen other runners already there.  They were apparently at the turn around for their own morning run.  I joined in.

I found my people!  These are the folks who are as crazy as I am - the runners who are out getting the miles in when no one else can see them.  I am part of this community.
