Lucky for me, I didn't have anything waking me up at 3 am, so I slept in as long as possible. It was marvelous.  I didn't get 9 miles in, but totally worth less miles for the sleep.

I went down a road I usually don't run in the dark by myself.  I didn't have any troubles, but it's a winding road with lots of turns and I think it's just a bad road to run in the dark.

Nice paces.  After mile 2, my legs were tired, but we kept on truckin' and I managed a nice progressive run. It was beautiful outside- 64 degrees with a cool breeze.  The weather is changing though; the wind is blowing from the north now instead of the south like it has been for the last 4 days.  It's supposed to rain for the next few days.  Glad I had a little taste of delicious weather before winter comes back.

After Monday's awesome 14 miler, you deserve to sleep in past 3am! :)

I am envious of your weather right now! I haven't run on pavement outside like forever! sigh!
