My plans for a Christmas Eve morning run fell through...my cookies needed me more. So I went out for a nighttime run at almost 10pm, after our guests had been fed and those that remained were too busy playing Rock Band to notice if I took off! I'm glad I went at night, because all the lights were on...between the clear sky, the holiday lights, and the street lights it hardly seemed like it was dark out! Pretty houses, quiet roads (I saw only 4-5 cars, 3 people walking, and a couple backyard parties going on), and nice cool weather. I've been listening exclusively to 172 Christmas songs on my iPod the past few days and the song running through my head (no headphones allowed!) was Elvis Presley singing, "Give thanks for all you've been blessed with and hold your loved ones tight, for you know that the Lord's been good to you on a snowy Christmas night." I thought it was appropriate...although I decided I'd need to change the words to "on a balmy Christmas night."
6 miles-52:50 total: 9:20, 8:58, 8:50, 8:41, 8:41, 7:56 Merry Christmas!
