Running in the Dark
Two People Outrunning Different Things on the Same Road The five AM running club had eight members. They met three mornings a week at the park entrance, ran twelve kilometers in the pre-dawn dark along the river path, and operated by the unspoken code of people who choose the difficult option: no complaining, no stopping, no explaining why you are there.
