AM: 7 miles (1:02:32). PM: easy 4. So, today was a workout day, but I had an incredibly busy day at work and I am getting ready to go out of town for a conference tomorrow, so I had to rework my schedule. In addition to a presentation I had to give this morning, and two meetings for two really big projects that are starting, I had to fit in a little "happy hour" outing that was a kick-off for one of the projects. It was hard not to snack on the happy hour treats -- and leave by 5PM in order to get my run in before it got too dark, but hopefully it is a sacrifice that will pay dividends in March ;-). I know I have told you all about this before, but it is DARK here when the sun is not up. We have a huge telescope outside of town (Kitt Peak National Observatory - we are nicknamed "optics valley" because of all the optic research here) so Tucson is a low light city. We have few street lights, and the ones we have are low light emitting, and out where we live there are no street lights - and no "city light" it is so much darker than other cities of its size. Out where we live there are no sidewalks - but there are nice dirt/rock shoulders) -- anyway, even at 6AM it was so dark that I couldn't see a thing ... not a darn thing. Same thing is true in the evening, by 5:45 it is so dark ...I feel I am always at the mercy of the sun ;-). And yes, I could use a headlamp, but I am such a minimalist runner, I think garmins are too heavy, let alone some bit ole' thing wrapped around my head ;-) -- I would rather "complain" he he. Happy Tuesday bloggers.
