I was supposed to do a 13-mile run today. I couldn't go in the morning because I had an appointment, and I didn't want to go during the hottest part of the afternoon; so, I waited and went in the late afternoon. A little too late, apparently, because I ended up doing the last four miles in the pitch dark... I had anticipated doing maybe one mile in the dark, so I had a small flashlight in my CamelBak, thankfully. It was a little bit scary -- it's an isolated area and there wasn't a single other person out there. But luckily, the only wild creature I spotted was a fat frog sitting on the trail. And, since I knew it was getting dark and my stomach was mildly upset the whole time, I turned around at five miles and only did 10 total.
