Running at 5am

I have several observations I've accrued over the past few weeks from starting my runs at 5am:

1.  It is damn early.
2.  First light is before 5am now.  Wtf?  Do I have to get up even earlier in coming weeks to beat the sun?!??  Egad...
3.  There are very few cars out at 5am.
4.  There are a surprising number of people out at 5am walking, walking their dogs, playing with their dogs, biking, and even running.  Hi, fellow early birds!
5.  Coyotes howling at me as I run by in very desolate places scare the crap out of me.
6.  Quail that decide to play chicken with me as I run at them are funny.
7.  Why are construction crews out by 6am?!?  Crazy people.
8.  People leave the oddest things in their yards.  I saw a caulking gun and a banana in one person's yard this morning. I don't even want to imagine what he's going to do with those together!
9.  It's 80F at 5am now - what's it going to be in a few more months when the daily high is around 110F????
10.  After I return, shower, and eat breakfast, I'm ready for a nap.  At 7am.  Yikes.
