I have a confession to make: I not only don’t like running in darkness, I actually am slightly scared of running in darkness. I’m always imagining myself running into a hole, or tripping over an uneven edge. It’s the fear of the unknown, always going to plunge into disaster. So when I’m not only running in the dark, but also wrapped up in a thick shroud of humidity? It’s an unpleasant at best experience. I spent the entire time second-guessing every step, when I wasn’t squinting at car headlights on the road coming in my direction.

I also really need to get all my runs in each week. Lately I’ve had a knack for missing one of them (usually the Tuesday one) and that is an extremely bad habit. Bah. Not pleased.
