Either a Great Idea, or ...

So, what time do you run in the AM?

NYRR is celebrating its 50th anniversary with an all-comers race on June 4 as part of Running Week. The distance will either be 5K or 5 Miles. The good part? It's free. The catch? It starts at 5:30 a.m. (and no, that's not a typo.)

Oh, yeah, it's a Wednesday morning, to boot ... And it's a scored race and marathon qualifier.

Hmm, let's see, to get to Manhattan that early would imply getting on the subway by, what 4 a.m. to be on the safe side ... (safe being a relative word).

Then again, runners aren't known for their 9-5 view of the world ...
