They get up extremely early to go running.
How early is "extremely early"?
Try four in the morning.
That was the meeting time.
Most of us got up at 3:30 to get ready.
Twelve nuts met at four on a Saturday morning to run around a track.
Only three of them were ROTCs. The rest of us ranged from a track coach to an unfit asthmatic. Or actually, a number of out-of-shape people and several asthmatics.
But we all ran or jogged or walked around the track.
And ate muffins afterward.
Then we all went to bed again.
Why?
I don't know.
It was an idea mentioned in jest by someone and picked up with enthusiasm by the others Friday evening at a gathering of returning students.
Muffins?
After the idea became a reality, I invited several people over to my apartment to make muffins. We made forty-eight.
Would you do it again?
Not sure...maybe at five instead of four...

Sounds like fun. I'm not sure the muffins you ate wouldn't completely nullify the workout you got from the jog. But I'm sure they were delicious.
I think 5 sounds a little less "nutty". :-)
Dad wants to know why you didn't make fruit cake instead...it has a lot of nuts...(groan) :)
