night running

I didn't sleep well last night so I didn't get up in time to run this morning. I was also a little concerned about the whole do you or do you not eat before a morning run. It was so windy today, and I worked until 7, so I couldn't run until after dark.

Pros of running at night:
-you get to peek into other people's houses
-not too many people or cars in your way
-you can make funny dance moves when you finish your run and nobody will see you

Cons of running at night:
-I have terrible vision in the dark and can't run with my glasses on. This meant I couldn't tell if the white blob ahead of me was a plastic bag or a poodle (but really, is there a difference between refuse and poodles?)
-It's probably more dangerous as far as creepy crawly dudes
-I can't always tell how broken the sidewalk is which increases potential of injury

I was really debating if I should move this run to Thursday morning, but I knew if I couldn't wake up this morning there was no way I'd get up tomorrow when I actually have to be at work at 9 (instead of 11 today). I'm so proud of myself for sticking through the wishy-washy and just running like I am supposed to. I love when I'm running too - I forget about all the various b.s. going on and just think about goofy stuff.

The best part of the run was that I increased my speed. I did 2.6 miles this time instead of 2.25! And it didn't feel that bad. I like seeing progress.
