Running in the dark



Thanks to T, last night I was able to run the trail from Wilder to Montshire Museum in back. I used my larger headlamp, but it seems to eat batteries like I eat chips and dip. I will have to switch to my little micro light next time and see how it goes.


The trail was completely snow covered, except for where it was ICE covered. Again, thanks to T I was able to maintain my footing with ease. Actually, thanks goes to Weeb, too, for getting me the fancy blue shoes last year for Christmas. The two together worked great on the trail.

Even though it seemed as if I were making good time while running, my overall time on course was 40 minutes, which puts me at a terrible 12 plus minute mile average! So it was dark, so it was cold, so i had to step gingerly so as not to turn an ankle (or worse) on the frozen, pothole filled trail....so?

I am acutally very happy with the results, and the fronts of my legs are 'feelin the burn' today. Once again, thanks, T!!!! Love ya, +1.....me
