Morning has broken
30 08 2007After awaking from bad dreams involving psychopathic exes, dead people and car crashes I get up early and decide to go for a run round the park and I’m going through my t-shirts deciding what to wear as I need to do my washing and I only have one running top and I think if I wear that what am I going to wear for tomorrow’s run and I think does it really matter and I think no it doesn’t matter and I pull out a baggy race t-shirt and I think no I can’t wear that and I pull out another race t-shirt which actually fits properly and I get to the park and bollocks the park is shut and I think that’s not fair I’ve been here earlier than this and it was dark then and it wasn’t shut so I go down to the other gate to see if that one’s open and hooray that gate is open and I think I hope there’s no nutters in the park as one of my escape routes is padlocked and I think there probably won’t be any nutters and I go round the park and there’s a woman with a dog in there and it’s ok as the only time I can tolerate other people in the park is at 6:30 in the morning and we smile at each other in that early morning solidarity/you’re probably not a nutter kind of way and I do a couple of laps of the park and when I get home the fake sunrise has just come on and I think I am hardcore, I have been for a run before the sun is up. Yay.

Ok you got the moo pics
I was out running early this morning to but it was bloody lashing down all the way through the run when i got back and sat there eating my breakfast the sun came out 
Oh yeah i wear my running kit twice in a row all the time , it mings a bit but so what?
i got woken up at 5am this morning by fighting foxes in the front garden - they were so loud… i actually thought - if i was a proper runner i could bung on my kit and get out before the sun comes up … but alias i went straight back for three more hours zzzz…
Early Early Early! nutters - I got woken up by Yoda (well the small the person talking in her sleep)…
Glad that you are getting out and about again.
LJ - fighting foxes? sounds like fun
My fake sunrise is kaput at the moment - flippin typical that it should shine happily away during the summer and f*%* up in time for SAD season.
Impressive running commitment shown - gold star!
Does your fake sunrise last longer than 10 minutes? I’m usually back asleep by the time it goes off and then wake up in the dark again in the winter.
I have it beeping at me as well, if I relied on the sunrise alone I would wake about midday with terrible sunburn.
