this morning's walk

I'm going to have to start adopting a monk's schedule, I think, if I plan to do my 10K walks out to the river in the early morning. I went out at 6 a.m. today, which is basically broad daylight during Korean summer, and it was starting to get uncomfortably hot by the time I was heading back to my place. Shade was hard to find.

In Korea, the Buddhist monks usually get up around 3 or 3:30 a.m. I could do that, be out by 4 a.m., and finish walking a bit after 6 a.m. It would be bright out by then, but the sun would still be too low to be hot. This is one of the reasons why I don't like walking in the summertime. And waking up like a monk means going to bed around 9 p.m.

Some neighborhood roses for you:
