Early Morning Shuffling

Yesterday I enjoyed a grand conversation (caught between brunch courses) about running. A friend told me about how he ran every morning, waking up at 4am to do so.

Such an early time belied his routine of reading upon waking which he enjoyed each day, too.

I have struggled with moving that early in the morning because I have only woken up that early if I have some emergency. However, I am finding myself increasingly tired after the day, and able to sleep better than before.

The shuffling around my block has been three times since yesterday: long may it continue!
