as an old, out of shape ultrarunner who once got in semi-decent shape, i can attest to the truth of this:

"They sicken of the calm, who knew the storm." - Dorothy Parker

Does anyone else get possessive of the roads early in the morning? 

I fully recognize the unabashed pretension and absurdity of the implied entitlement, but at 5am, alone on a dark neighborhood street, I can't be the only one that gets mildly annoyed at a car for intruding on MY road in MY world at MY time of day...

This possessiveness does not extend to other runners (or even bikers...); on the contrary, I'm glad to see fellow early morning road warriors...

It's just the traffic of the motorized variety that seems to impede upon our serene little world just before the day's first twilight...
 
Cars can have the roads for most of the day.  Once the sun is up and everyone else is awake, it's THEIR road in THEIR world for the rest of THEIR times of day.

But in those mystical predawn hours of the early runs, I just can't help but feel like we lucky few are running on holy ground.
