I forgot how dark it is at 5 am

This morning, I went out for a pre-dawn run - the first in a very long time, since before my injury/resting period anyway.

I forgot how dark it is at 5 am! I was actually kind of creeped out! I mean, I carry my runner's pepper spray, but still!

So I am up to 7-9 minute intervals of running, peppered with 3 minute brisk walk breaks. I'm getting back to my old self again.

It was good to get it done and over with. I've been too tired after work to do anything productive other than fix some dinner.
