Or two, or two hundred, or two thousand. I lost count.
This morning was my first day of routine-building. I got up at 5:30 and dawn was breaking as I was hiking up the hill behind my house. It was a walk, not a run, but considering that it was a mile or so and about a third of it is on a 25- or 30-degree grade, my legs were a-hurtin’ and my heart was a-poundin’.
Still, it felt good to be doing something. And it was nice to be outside at daybreak, too. Bonus.

I wish we had a scenic area nearby to hike. I hate living in the middle of the city.
Good on ya!

I do kinda live in the middle of the city – just not like YOUR city!
I guess you could climb a mesa or something, hmm?

I’m happy for you baby!
(and if anyone wonders, YES, I was ASLEEP!)

Dys firmly believes in no more than one 6:00 per day.

Uh, how is it that Laura was awake to comment first on this? Just wondering.
I love the early morning walks. Most days I don’t manage to drag my ass out of bed early enough, but yesterday morning I did, only to find it was raining. Same thing this morning. Oh well; it sounds like you got a good start to the day.

Because unlike my usual, I was posting from home at night!
It rained my way the night before, setting up your morning rain, I guess.

Good for you!

Don’t say it’s good for me, then suddenly it’ll taste bad!

Update: I measured it this morning (after hitting it again, a few minutes earlier this time) by driving it and checking the odometer. It was somewhere between 1.7 and 1.8 miles.

I’m also wondering how it’s light enough for you at 5:30 – sunrise here isn’t until 6:15 or so and even then it’s pretty dark!

I said “hike” and I’ll stand by it, but it’s still a city street. It’s got streetlights. Back during the Bad Time I used to occasionally make that walk at 4am just because I was awake and I might as well burn off some anger.
