DARK! There are no street lights so therefore there were a lot of car lights blinding the crap out of me! I had a flash light but that didn't help get rid of their light...grrr...yellow dog came with me. I swear I run faster with him. I didn't bring Garmin but I estimate a 9 minute mile or less.

April, its really buggin' me that you didn't get any sleep or naps. Please tell me that isn't true. Good job getting out there in the dark. Its wierd, isn't it? I have to get used to the change every year all over again.

Maybe a headlamp would work better than a flashlight.

I try to go with out in atleast once a week...I almost forgot it on my long run the othere day...that would not have helped me very much!

Carolyn--I have thought about getting one...but I don't run too often in the dark...Although this semester I will be atleast once a week...Are they expensive?
