sunday morningtime
This was my first successful attempt at waking up very early Sunday and getting on the road before any detrimental weather could befall me. For those unaware of the advantages of exercising early Sunday morning, I have generously compiled a list:
One: traffic is sparse which, for road-going exercisers, is a significant safety benefit.
Two: extra energy from the adrenaline gas released over the night by pine trees but later devoured by afternoon pollution.
Three: cool humidity that will bathe you in sweat but will seem more like soaking in a waterfall than hiking through the midday rainforest.
Four: being able to inwardly snicker at all those who, upon your return, are just begrudgingly waking up and looking childish with their crumpled hair and unfocused eyes.
Five: all of the other, kind, exercising people who discovered these advantages long ago but kept them hidden so that they could participate in Four.
Six: two breakfasts, which apparently was discovered even longer ago by the talented race of Hobbits.
Seven: I’m taking a sabbatical on this one, because I deserve it for getting up that early and returning just as Mr. Sun pierced through the 11am humidity.
