I had a good run today.  I headed out early and was enjoying the stars (we miss these often in the city) and the peace and quiet.  Unfortunatly it was very dark.   There were several time I could not tell where the trail was and would have to stop and a few times that I tripped over curbs.  Depsite these obstacles I managed to stay upright the entire time.  I was a little worried that I would fall and have to hobble back home.  I ave. a 9 min mile which is great, especially with my stops. 

Hope you all had a great weekend and Happy Running!

Wow, what a great run for you! I hope your days go well. It will be nice to have over, I'm sure. When are you planning to head home?

Good run! Long and fast, and staying upright is just extra credit in my book. :)

Nice job Jody, did you go by yourself? or run with someone down here? Good luck with everything today. Im sure I will see you all tonight. We need to invest in some headlamps, cuz Cheri and I had the same problem today.

Now I know you were just taking it easy on me Saturday! You speedy one! Great job today- sounds like you're ready to do the Moab 1/2 w/ us in March! My question is the same as everyone else- did you do that 9 miles alone?

From Jody on Mon, Dec 03, 2007 at 23:57:24

Yes, I was by myself. I always get a little scared heading out alone but it is another fear I need to work on.

I always try to come up with a "safe" route but I do not think that there is one. Just what I feel the most comfortable with.

Wow! Nice Monday moring run and by your self! You are pretty speedy to maintain that speed and distance! I can't remember but you obviously have been running a while ( I hope).

Thanks for asking, yes the doctors apt. went well and good to have done. Didn't finish with the Christmas shopping though, thank goodness for the internet! What did we ever do without it??

"Holy Cow" I have been to a few cub games when Harrry Carry was still calling the game. 7th innning stretch, "take me out to the ball game" there will never be another like Harry.

Just looked at your blog, you have some very good race times and you are a morning runner like me and the "dark horse". The mornings are fantastic most of the year. We ran Hobble Creek last year also. I expect that you will be earning many commando points over the next few months.
