This might sound like a silly question, but what is Zumba? I'm not really a gym person and I've never heard of it.

Zumba is a latin-based/international dance class. Usually one hour of cardio. I do a warm up (usually top 40 song), about 16 songs/routines total in a class. Class includes a mix of bellydancing, Calypso, hip hop, African dance, latin dances (quebradita, merengue, cumbia, samba, cha cha, reggaeton, salsa). Also add toning to some of the routines (lots of squats, lunges, etc.).

Thanks for the answer. I guess there isn't a lot of that kind of thing going around here - we seem to be the last part of the country to here about anything. I started running mostly because it was something I could do right out the door at 4AM. I still do that but like to challenge myself with trail runs around here when it's light out. I even chased a moose monday morning on the trail!

I have the moose chasing visual in my head, reminds me of my time in Yellowstone (had a list of animals I wanted to see and chased what I thought was a moose....).

My husband is so disciplined with his early morning running. He is out a bit later than you, but done before 6am. He goes to the Y right now, and it opens at 445am. When it stops hailing here (yes hail in late April) he'll switch to outside runs.
