How to be a Dork

Today I woke up at the crack of dawn and decided to get in a morning run. I drove to the fitness center, laced up my running shoes and set out the door for a five mile loop. The morning air was fresh, and a pleasant breeze coursed over my hair.

Then it happened. As I was making my way down a tree-lined road, someone shouted from a passing car, "HEY, DORK!" It took a few seconds for the words to register. I didn't like being the target of a joke. Besides, it was early morning and not a time to be humorous. I channeled my anger into faster running. At the finish I checked out my watch and noticed I had a fast run. At least my time was good.

Until later.
