Running in the Dark

3.23 miles
30:33 min, 9:28 min/mile pace

Ran at 7 pm last night, which wasn't the greatest idea since most of the regular loop is on a sidewalk that winds its way between lighted sections before diving into the woods for longer stretches. The first mile is pretty straightforward, and in the nice cool weather I covered that in around 8 minutes, but after that I had to slow down every time I went into the woods to make sure I didn't run into any trees.  The last mile was spent dodging Oktoberfest partygoers, so there went any hopes for a sub 9 min pace.  Maybe a little headlamp wouldn't be a bad idea with the days getting shorter, but how much of a nerd am I really willing to be?
