#9 – 50 runs in 100 days – Hardcore edition
#116 – 100 Days Of Miles Challenge

Yesterday I had not decided if my last run before Saturday would be 2K on the treadmill at the gym or a 5K flat run til I ran my 12.5K run yesterday and realized that the GPS did not work properly so after that the decision was made, it would be a 5K run today to do a test to see that it will work following a route and get time and distance, crucial for Saturday.

Ended up being a nite run so premiere with reflective vest and headlight since I would be on dirt roads without any lights.

The temperature had dropped a bit so I decided I would test my winter compression tights.

Seemed that I was a bit faster than yesterday as far as pace

It is a bit spooky running in the dark, on a dirt road without any lights and the headlight lead the way. I saw a rabbit at the side seeing two red eyes

I was glad I listened to myself and used the reflective vest and headlight because all of a sudden on the dirt road I saw some lights coming down the road and I was wondering what it was, a hug wide tractor that basically took up all the road. I think he saw me

Also when I was on a dark trail on my way to the grave yard I saw two silver eyes at the side which was a cat. It is interesting to see animals in the dark. The only thing you see is their eyes

You also will realize how invisible people and animals can be when they do not have any glare. When I was running through the grave yard I noticed some movement on the road and it wasn’t til I got closer I saw that a person was out walking a dog.
