Well, that's what real runners do - they get up early and run in the dark. When Lois trained for her marathons, she'd be out running by 3:30 or 4:00...she and a friend would run 20 plus miles on Sunday mornings...in south Florida that meant dripping trees and wet streets (from the humidity!)...
Nice shots and this is a beautiful park. What do you do, put up a tent there so when you can't sleep you can get up and take pics? :)
Best time especially in summer.. not that I'd know about the running part of it Jack :) like you I'd be happier taking photos in that wonderful light.. why not sleeping?
I have not been sleeping well as of late either. But I don't get up to go to the park to see the runners or take part with them. ;-) That early morning light is worth it though. Beautiful shots.
A safe and beautiful place to be for those who feel the need to run. Though as my father, who was a farmer, would have said "If they want exercise I could find them something more useful to do!"
In France, we say : "Future belongs to the ones who Wake up early" . I agree with that , especially in summer . there's so much to do before the sun rises and becomes too hot .
im not a real runner by any means.... could NOT do that at 5 am. but wish i could.... today i was lucky with the train and all and was home about 6.30. was supposed to go running. crashed on the couch and have been there ever since. now i see these beautiful pics and feel even worse that i didnt go!!

Looks like a great place to do a lot of things. That includes stealth photographing joggers. :)
The pre-dawn hour is magical (unless of course you couldn't sleep).
Jack, these shots are a delight. Beautiful!
Smart place to be with your camera if you're already awake! Beautiful blossoms!
Pre-dawn is nice in bed...
That really is a beautiful place to run but, I hope they stop and smell the roses some of the time.

I am not a morning person but do enjoy the light if I am forced to be up that early!
This is truly a beautiful park!
(Sometimes pre-dawn is the only time I sleep, so I have to wonder: if this is pre-dawn, how come there's enough light to take pictures??)
Great looking gardens.
Gorgeous gardens to be out in. It occurs to me that it's been a long, long time since I've seen a dawn.
Good timing. I used to do that stuff before I messed up my knee and herniated a lumbar disc - all well now but no more running.
I'm a little relieved to realize that you're not the one running before dawn. Now picture taking before dawn is an all together different thing.

I can smell the freshness.
