Dawn Patrol

When I was in high school and played a lot of golf, I often enjoyed getting up early in the morning and standing on the first tee waiting for it to be light enough to see the fairway. Then we would tee off and often finish the round before many people were even out of bed. We called this “Dawn Patrol”.

This morning, dawn patrol was re-born! Instead of golf, four of us woke up early and went for a run well before the sun came up. I needed my head lamp for footing at first, but by the end of the run, I remembered why I like doing things like this so early in the day. There is something fun about being up before a lot of other people. It is also very satisfying to have some “me time” before going to work as I didn’t spend the day wondering if I would be home on time to fit in a run before dinner. It sounds like the other three do this on a fairly regular basis and I hope to continue joining them when I can.
