Sunday was an epic run. I'm training for the Moab half (October 19), and I had to run my second 7 mile run. I started out a little after 7 PM, not thinking it would get quite as dark quite as fast as it did...I need glasses in the dusk/dark because ever since my LASIK surgery in '07-ish, my night vision is crap; however, I didn't bring my glasses with me on the run.
When I set out, almost immediately saw a great horned owl in flight - low, and slow, right before the Harley exhaust fish in the city park. Shortly after that, I started seeing BATS!! So excited. I love bats. Not long after that, I couldn't really see much. Thankfully there was a nearly full moon, which provided some light so I wasn't completely out of sorts.
The weather was perfect - low 70s, dry. I FLEW through the run, even had some sub-9mms. That's a first! I was thinking, during the run, that it was my best ever, of my life. Pretty sure that's true.
Today was four miles, at work. I left in the rain (70*), and it rained the whole time. Still a great run, followed immediately by a Reece's.
