My run in the St. Germaine area of Paris, France at
4:45AM found women, men and couples strolling in the early morning. Taxi drivers
hawked for riders and police officers dealt with a pile of fellows caught up in
some skirmish, no doubt alcohol induced. I assumed most of the folks were not
early risers, but rather had not yet been to bed. Early morning runs in
Iceland, New Orleans, Las Vegas, Peru and Chile led to similar
situations. Other than encountering other people on the streets, I ran
around the tremendous Pantheon. I wanted to run in the Luxembourg Gardens.
Unfortunately, it was gated and locked.
For some a good evening was coming to a close. For
me, a grand day began. Shannan and I toured the inside of the amazing
Pantheon later that morning and took a short walk in the garden as well. Both
were well worth the wait.
Whatever the hour, RUN.
Tom
