Who turned the lights out?

I did my first dark run tonight due to the time change. And you know what, it sucked! I thought I'd be in good shape because I had a full moon but sometime after I started running and before I finished, the entire enormous moon went behind the clouds all spooky like. I was just hoping that the good people of my city were vigilant about sidewalk safety.

I ran to Bloomington Gail's house tonight. Thankfully she lives just off a street that's lit up like an airport runway. But the cool thing happened as I was running towards her house. It turns out I arrived just as she was chatting with a neighbor on her driveway so the last block or so I had 2 ladies cheering me in. Not a bad way to end a run that started out with me thinking, "Nah, I don't need the blinking light tonight."
