Fire on the Mountain

I love to run...just not in the morning.  So many of my friends tell me it's the best time of day to get out there, but I'm just not limber that early.  When I do manage to get out the door before dawn, I feel like the Tin Man from The Wizard of Oz as I hobble down the road...all the while wishing I was back home with a cup of coffee.  A couple of weeks ago I managed to get myself out there, and though the run was less than stellar, I was rewarded with the most amazing sunrise as I finished up.  I sprinted the last few blocks just to get to my camera in time.  Maybe there is something to this early-morning thing...

"Long distance runner, what you standin' there for?  Get up, get out, get out of the door."
-Fire on the Mountain, Grateful Dead 1978
