During my summer reading, I read that many of the long distance runners had to resort to running at night. This is something that I not particularly interested in doing. Sometimes it's spooky. But when your goal for the day is to run 7 miles and it is dusk when you begin, there is great chance that you will be running in the dark. Well, last night was the first time that I had to run in the absolute darkness. I had run at night before. I used to drive to Fredricksburg where there are street lights. I moved a ways away from Fredricksburg so that is no longer an option.
I ended up running in my subdivision. I live in lakeside area. There are a lot of trees that block out the light of the stars. So there were moments of complete and utter darkness. It was not only difficult to see but also it was also kind of dangerous. I could not see my footfalls. Now is not the time for an injury so I will have to do something like get a headlamp. So today, begins my search for a headlamp.
Gotta run.
