Early mornings ponderings

I went for a run this morning before everyone else was up and on the go in my house. I love to exercise early in the am best. And even though Ive always known this, and I know I will feel so great and be so proud of myself for the rest of the day, I still find it sooo hard to get up out of bed when the alarm goes off.

I love exercising in the morning because I don't have to think about it the rest of the day and its done and over with, its also nice and quiet at that time in the morning and I can actually hear myself think. But, I realized this morning as I ran along the beach (oh yeah, I'm gonna miss that in a couple of months)that its also because their is a sort of camaraderie between perfect strangers when you are up and out doors at that hour. Its like you have something in common immediately, in the fact that you both enjoy those secret moments of the morning before the rest of the day rush begins. If I were to go jogging at any other point in the day I wouldn't have one person say "hi" to me. Its like people who like to get up and exercise early in the morning haven't lost their "friendlier" characteristics yet. The spell, however, seems to be broken by 9am :)
IF you haven't made the effort to make it out at this special time of the day yet, you should try it!!!
