An evening run

I'm a morning person; once the sun goes down, especially in the long, dark winter, I start longing for my bed. Thus, my best time to run is first thing in the morning-usually before anyone else is up. I rarely run at any other time.

But this morning I was expecting a phone call at 7:30 and the painter at 8:00, so I decided I wouldn't try to fit in a run. Instead, I walked with my friend, and was it ever hot and humid!

By dinnertime I was feeling antsy and incomplete, so I decided to try an evening run. I went out about 8 and ran for 34 minutes. It was good-better than I expected. Here's the thing about running in the dark: a morning run in the dark gives way to light, but a twilight run gives way to further darkness. Duh. I found that interesting . . . not sure why. :-)

I wore my new shoes tonight-Nike Zoom. They felt great. I bought them for my longer runs and races-they are a full size larger than my street shoes. I'm afraid of stumbling if I buy them bigger than that. I rotate shoes--I also have Nike Air Pegasus and Asics Duomax Gel 1120. They are all comfortable. I usually buy my shoes at Academy Sports-I'll try on about a dozen pairs and find the ones that seem to fit my feet the best.

Enough blah, blah, blah for now.

Sweet dreams!
