Running in the Dark

I've been looking online for an appropriate picture to add to this short post, but I couldn't find just what I had hoped for. So, I apologize that there is no visual aide!
There is just something wrong and wonderful all at the same time at waking up at 4:30 a.m. to go for a run. I know, I'm slightly crazy! But when I say run- let's be realistic, I jog- but it just sounds better when you say, I went running rather than jogging, right?! The wrong part about it is that it's dark at 4:30!! And I'll admit, it's a little creepy to be running alone in the dark, no matter how familiar I am with my surroundings. And as I'm running past all these dark, quiet houses, I couldn't help but be slightly envious that the people inside were sleeping. But on the wonderful side of it- I got to see the sun come over the top of the mountains and start to get light out, and my main motivation is that my workout is now done and out of the way for the day!!
