The sun is coming up later and later each day and the cloud cover smothered any hint of morning light. I plugged in my headphones and hit the start button on my phone. I wanted to start the day with a strong run and some good words from my favorite songs. The day ahead was going to be busy with some fires that needed to be tended so this time alone would help me fortify myself. But I wasn’t alone. There were small bunnies scurrying about in the dark, a few hardy folks walking dogs, and the twinkling of the tail lights from cyclists zipping past me. Thirty minutes, three miles, ten songs, ready to go.

What a beautiful picture you painted of what surrounded you on your morning run. I’m not much of a runner (Not a runner at all, I should say), but your description makes me want to think about changing that. If only it wasn’t for my foot problems…
It’s so good when you know what you need to get your day off to a great start. I love reading about your run and that’s about as close as I’ll get to running. Hope the rest of your day goes as well.
Love the way you get into the zone to be ready for the rest of your day with “thirty minutes, three miles and ten songs”. It’s a song itself! Hope the day moved right on for you.
Your piece flows so nicely. Love the rhythm of the last line. It feels like you are getting ready for your run.
