Domain of the dog walker
I’ve switched my jogging from lunch time to early morning because of work and rising temperatures.
I run 5km three or four times a week depending on the weather and how I feel. The usual route is from home to a marker along the golf course and back.
I’ve noticed different groups of people using the trail and road at different times of the morning.
Between 6am and 6.45am is pretty quiet. From 6.30am to 7am the tradesmen are buzzing off in utes and vans to jobs and building sites.
The period to 7.30am is the domain of the dog walker. As regular as an English batting collapse the same people are out there every morning with their pooches.
Funnily enough, the time from about 7.45am to 8.30 is fairly quiet again, after which the cyclists, general walkers and cars increase.
I suspect that in a capital city the joggers and dog walkers would have to be out much earlier to complete their exercise before going to work.
