You may have seen last week, if you read, that I wrote about shedding my imposter syndrome by entering a writing contest. If not you can find that post here. I decided that I like posting on Medium, and I plan on continuing to do so.
This week, I wanted to connect you to my post on medium about my insecurities running at 4:30 in the morning. I touch on the timing in my post Running Against…Zombies? but I don’t go into detail about how those runs impact how I view the world around me. It doesn’t fit into the previous post, but it is worth discussing.
You can find the essay on Medium, linked here. In this piece I discuss how I started running at 4:30 and why. I also talk about what it’s like to run that early in the morning, and how it’s shifted my perspective on my surroundings, especially when I’m alone.

I love that quote. Now you have me thinking.

Thanks for sharing your story with us! I like how you’ve chosen to continue setting your alarm at 4:15, and running despite the dangers.
Honestly though, I feel that there’s magic in waking up early. “But you can still get 16 waking hours if you wake up at noon” used to be my argument, but I just am in a better mindset when waking up before the sunrise.
Anyway, thanks for this post!
