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.
