I wanted to celebrate the first day with the Daylight Saving Time with a big run at night. I got home at 6:30 with plenty of light but I soon discovered that my neighbour had his house flooded. He opened the sprinklers but one of the pipes going under the roof was damaged during the winter by the freezing weather and started leaking, when he got back home two hours later his main floor was under 10cm of water everywhere. By the time I got home most of the water has been removed, but the ceiling was still dripping, I helped him to put most the furniture on some logs to avoid further water damage. I went running at 7:30pm enjoying the last 30 minutes of light and it was really pleasant, at 8pm was already dark but I was by the lake, no cars and no artificial lights, with enough light to be able to continue until 8:30 when it was really dark. I did 6.2 miles in 55 minutes.
