First night run

What a gorgeous night for a run! It's hard to believe it was 40 degrees when we started running at 6pm this evening. Even more difficult to believe there's no snowy roads, no icy sidewalks, and no treacherous footing.

5 of us headed out for a fun 2 mile jaunt around Manchester. I love running at night for several reasons:
I can't see the hills, so they don't feel as difficult.
I get to window-shop while I run.
The stars light up the sky.
It feels great to be outside exercising while most people are driving home from work.

If you haven't tried running at night, you're missing out! Be safe by wearing reflective clothing or a reflective vest, and a headlamp to light the way and also to make you more visible to drivers.

Next Tuesday night I hope we have a light snow - it's an awesome feeling running through snowflakes at night!
