morning came too soon today. I got 4 miles in the hood today. I felt let down that there was high cloud cover, so no stars shining on my shoulders. And the inevitable finally happened- when I finished my run, it was still dark outside. No sunrise on the horizon. I knew it was coming, but why did it have to be on a Monday??
I almost ran into a middle school student. he was walking along a very dark section of the road and I was wearing my red lamp, which I had pointed down at the road just then because it was so dark and I knew it was a cruddy section of asphalt. I'm sure he saw me running, but I did not see him coming. Luckily he was just a kid going to the bus stop, but it made me realize I would have been caught off guard by someone with more sinister plans. I hate that running has turned into a workout balanced around fear.
A girl was attacked on her bike a couple weeks ago, Terri was "flashed," friend got hit by a car.... just too much bad stuff in such a short time. Maybe with winter coming, the crazies will stay inside with colder weather. Maybe.
Hope to get a run in home today as long as the weather cooperates. I left my watch at home charging, so it should be a nice run with no worries because I can just imagine I'm going super fast :-)
Got to run 5 in the evening with Wyatt. Super-duper good times! |
