Day 54 - night train!

So, another long day! Love to be busy but have to make sure I get my daily run in. So today I ended up running at 8:30pm, I only had a short 4 miles to run so I decided to go out on the trail as I'd be back before it got dark. I told Dan I was leaving and the if I wasn't back in 40mins to come looking for me. He had no dought I'd be back! I have to say running outside at night is ok, it's cooler in the summer so that is pleasant but I don't like the swarms of bugs that you end up running into. I think I must of eaten as least 4 or 5 bugs, yuck! The run itself was uneventful just took my time, don't want to over do it :)
Today's Stats: 4 miles, 6.48km in 43:01, avg pace of 6:38/km burned 557 cal

    Hi Laura, good for you. It doesn't hurt to be careful. If you want to avoid bugs for supper always pick a trail away from waters and where the wind blows a lot. They are easily whisked away by the wind if you can find a windy trail. Something to keep in mind if you are going to do a long run at night. Even if it is daylight.
    Anyway, Honey, I did two races this weekend. Gagetown 10km. in 52:03 minutes and the St. Andrews 5 miler in 41:oo flat. It sure was hot and humid!
    These races are great to give you an idea as to what you are capable of in your marathon time. You can look up on the web and see exactly what you are about to run a marathon if your 10 km time is say, 47 minutes.
    I do a 10 miler in Grand Bay this weekend. Try to find a 10 km and see how you are progressing in an actual race.
    Cheers, Dad
