Comments:
So I slept through my 8:10 alarm this morning, so I couldn't run then. Some french relatives came over around 11:30. I went to Forte around 2, and got out at 4. So its 5:30, getting dark and I remember that I need to run. So I get out, and its almost pitch black outside, so I decide to stay to lighted streets.
I went to school the long way, down western and up Wisconsin. From school down to ward circle the back way, then down Loughborough to the top of Dana Pl. I saw the hill coming up, and deciding that I didn't want to go back up it, I turned around. It was almost pitch black by then, but the streetlights gave the cloudy sky a nice orange hue. I doubled back to ward circle, but took nebraska down to fessenden, up the hill and went back to school, where I looped around the block and then went back down wisonsin to western home. I passes morrison and went down to military, turned left and came back home on chevy chase parkway, bringing the whole run to about 9.5.
I felt very good the whole time, I think eating more pre-run definitely helps: I had half a banana 10 minutes before the run. I might have taken the first half two slow, but the pace definitely picked up on the way back. It was way too hot for november at night.
