Waiting for the sun to give a good morning kiss to the sky, I sipped coffee and read the news before my run. Determined to have a better view of Ashburn, I dilly dallied until the light of day. Then I dashed off down a lane cradled by fertile farms. Feet landing on soft grass and my own breath were the only sounds in the stillness of the early hour on this country road. It was divine and well worth the wait.
This marked our fourth stay in the small town of Ashburn, GA. I had a frosty tour of the quaint downtown the first time. The second go around I covered much of the same ground before turning around. It was the reverse track that took me down the country road I enjoyed this morning, however last time I could hardly see the road under my feet at 4:00 am. It was much too dark to notice and appreciate the fabulous surroundings.
This day I made a huge difference. I ran alongside peanut and cotton fields, watched farm animals feeding and frolicking. I delighted in the natural beauty of Ashburn. Later in the morning Shannan and I stopped in the Chamber of Commerce and toured the Crime and Punishment Museum. The latter was a real treat. We learned a great deal about Abshurn and her fascinating history.
Run. Tour. Enjoy.
Tom
