How odd. An a major metropolitan entertainment city that sleeps. I started running at 5:30 am, not so early, around the intersection of International and Universal in Orlando's entertainment district. To my great surprise, for the most part of 45 minutes, I was the only one out and about. Only a couple of people waited for buses and the car traffic was nearly none exsistant. In the lovely temperature of the morning hours I did not lay eyes on a biker, runner, walker or even a dog walker. How odd.
This area is the exemplar of the mall sprawl concept. On the edge of Walt Disney World miles of hotels, restaurants, water parks, theaters and more stand prepared to handle overflow, of America's great escape fantasy park.
Disney World claims more territory than many independent nations, including Vatican City, and probably more yearly pilgrims. When in Rome, I felt the St. Peter's Square was too sacred to take a run, but that wasn't the case in Orlando. I enjoyed cruising along the wide side walks and breathing the warm Florida air. So, with a place so large that draws so many people and business, whatever were they doing asleep?
Sleep- Run.
