This is actually a guesstimate on my mileage because my garmin wigged out for some reason. I actually ran in the dark tonight and it wasn't nearly as scary as I always thought it would be. I was dreading going on the elliptical tonight, so even though it was 15 degrees and dark, I bundled up and went running. I only wore 1 shirt this time (see my abominable snowman gear from my last run) and didn't take my scarf, but I used a ski mask for my cheeks and face. I really liked the ski mask -- even though it got a little hot on the uphills, it was great for the downhills. It was a little icy out tonight, but I never tripped, luckily. I went without my iPod so I could be aware of my surroundings, and it was actually enjoyable -- it was so peaceful and I just listened to the rhythm of the crunching snow and my breathing, while I sang Christmas carols in my head. I wanted to go a little longer, but chickened out in the end. Nice run - felt great! |
