Morning Mile

The past three mornings at 6:30 AM I've taken Romeo for a mile jog downtown. The streets were empty today but normally there are kids walking to school. This morning being a Saturday the only people I saw were the men coming out of the shelter wearing dark backpacks. There was frost on the cars in the parking lot and my fingers were cold but it felt good to force a warm up both physically and mentally. I find that I am grinning ear to ear when we arrive back home and the coffee always tastes better after a run. This morning I made coffee mocha with Droste cocoa, milk, coffee and sugar and a few grains of salt. It was fantastic.
