Goshen, IN 6 am

Pace: 8:09

Running in the dark in a new town. Not a great idea, but this time of year I really have no choice. I ran through the farm land. I bet it was pretty out there if it wasn't pitch black. Glad I had my headlamp because the shoulders were pretty narrow.

As I was running down the back stretch I heard a clip-clop-clip-clop. I look behind me and an Amish horse and buggy was chasing me down. That horse was pretty fast. It passed me pretty quickly.

Goshen, IN 11:30 pm (yesterday)

Pace: 8:21

The weather report called for rain in the morning and I figured I'd get the same amount of sleep if I ran at night as in the morning.

The run was kind of slow because I'm not used to running at night, but it wasn't bad. I only got scared once when I was running on a path by the river and I heard a big splash. I don't know what it was, but it helped me pick up the pace for the next mile or so.

Goshen, IN 6:20 am

Pace: 8:19

Kind of rough this morning. It rained all day yesterday, but when I got up it had stopped and the temperature was 56 and windy. Hard to know how to dress. I was going to wear shorts, but when I got out of the hotel, it was raining, so I went back and put on running pants. Then I went back out and the rain had stopped.

I had on 3 shirts and took one off after about a mile. The roads were dark and the shoulders were narrow. Glad I have my headlamp.

Rain is gone, but it's back to being cold. I took a loop around Goshen hitting a greenbelt and a rail trail. Pretty good run but I didn't really push myself. Now I get to go home for the weekend.
