The other day I purchased a new Creative Muvo because I have been missing reading by ear while exercising. My Ipod Nano had been ripped off and the other devices I have tried just were not doing well with Audible books. Listening to a Harold Lamb book called Ghengis Khan; a time in history I know absolutely nothing about.
So, what does that have to do with morning being a great time to walk? Well, this morning was beautiful in a July pre-dawn way. At 5:37 it was still dawning yet the way was brightly lit by a moon that appeared to have no desire to surrender its role to the sun. Birds were excited about this Monday morning, a much better attitude sounding from their tree perches than I would imagine coming from those getting ready to turn off their morning alarms. Air was already a little leaden with heat that did not dissipate from the day before and anticipating what might be to come. But, it was also not oppressive and helped add a little sweat so that the 15-minute-mile pace felt like it might be doing some good. Ghengis Khan coming from the earpod assured that even if the heart wasn't pumping as fast as it should, there was something accomplished in this first hour of the day.
And, the days are getting shorter. Dawn appeared to really break about 5:55 and that means summer is moving toward fall.
