| | I woke up in the middle of the night and had to go potty. But I didn't feel like going all the way upstairs, so I just held it in and went back to sleep. Come 5am, I couldn't hold it any longer, so I got up. I went running shortly before 6pm. It was still dark out, but it was getting light. I saw a man walking on Adobe as I approached. That's when I noticed my shirt was riding up my belly. So I pulled it down. I crossed Adobe and was heading towards the Floodway. I could see three women coming towards me, all three of them walking dogs. Two of them were on the sidewalk and the third was in the bike lane. I had to run out in the street to go around them. I also had to pull my shirt down. I hope they weren't laughing at me. I could see a light all the way up at Brown Rd. It was just sitting there for the longest time. When I finally decided to watch it to figure out what it was, it started to move. It was moving pretty fast, too, so I figured it was a bicycle. It was on the other side of the Floodway. It was still too dark out to be able to tell if it was being pedalled or if it was electrical.
I started running south on the other side of the Floodway and as I got closer to Adobe, I saw another light. Was it the bicycle that had gone all the way down to University and turned around? Nope. It was the same guy that passed me a few weeks ago. It was just getting light enough to see, so I thought it silly that he still had his light on. I crossed Adobe and saw a runner coming towards me. He was an old man with shoulder length gray hair. He was wearing jeans and hiking boots. Silly.
After passing by the well site, I could see a light underneath the Floodway bridge at University. Was this the bicycle? I kept watching it the whole time, but I never figured out who it was. I headed back north on the other side of the Floodway. I could see another light heading my way, but on the the other side. It was the same guy again, still with his light on, but now it was perfectly light out. I guess he was probably in the zone and couldn't bother to save his battery.
