It was shaping up to be a mildly hectic week so I ended up running yesterday. Monday is usually a day off and especially after a 20 miler on Sunday I might have expected to take the day off. I was very happy with how good I felt after the 20, almost too good to be true.
In an effort to get in all the planned runs for the week I ended up heading to Bonelli, but stuck to the pavement to keep it a little easier on my legs. I hadn't really studied the plan nor committed it to memory I new there were two "round number" runs bookending a 7 miler was about as specific as I could remember on the run.
I ended up running 6 miles and by then it was fully dark and Bonelli gives me a little heebie jeebies at that point. There were still a couple of bike riding stragglers but I in two separate places last night I came upon lone men walking along purposelessly, or so it seemed. Kind of gave me the creeps especially after listening to the news on the way home about the girl jogger down near San Diego. I'll will be very happy in a couple of weeks when daylight savings time kicks in.
I got home and gave the schedule a look and the "round number" I remembered was actually an 8, not the 6 I ran, but I'm calling it good.

Be very careful out on those trails. I too will be glad when it's lighter for longer.
It's all good at this point. I tell Dee Dee all the time. Safety is all about an ounce of prevention...
We are anxiously awaiting daylight savings time in these parts as well!
All the best to you in the final stages of your training for L.A., Darrell. Have a great taper!
6 , 8. Close enough :)
Isn't it sad that we live in a country were we have to be worried when we go out for our beloved run?
Nothing like a little fear to put an extra spring in your step, eh? : )
Glad you've been keeping up with the blog..
I'm looking forward to DST too!
Yikes! Glad you stayed safe. And don't you hate it when you mess up on the training plan? Oh well - anymore time on the trail and it'd been super scary out there! Next time. :)
