First off 30 miles- woohoo!!!!!!!!!!!! This run stands out the most to me not because of the distance but because of the timing. We always run in the early morning, but decided we would actually get more sleep if we had a night run. By more I mean 6 hours, but hey, it's better than 4 or 5! However, my kid is on the good list today because she slept in really late and I got 7 hours (yes, I am rubbing it in again Elissa).
So here's the top ten list of things we learned about night running (insert drum roll here):
1) Black dogs (Great Dane's none the less) blend in with the black night.....SCARY!!!!!
2) Elissa really doesn't have a clue about Newburgh roads/geography....again, SCARY!!!
3) Corn fields sound really creepy in the wind......are you sensing a theme....SCARY!!!
4) The flashing lights we wear do nothing for traffic but do seem to attract dogs.....SCARY!!!
5) Starbucks is open past 10pm
6) Fat guy on a little bike (I mean a kids bike here).....just picture it about 9pm
7) Peppermints help nausea
8) Hotel receptionists are very alert....they never notice when you walk past the desk to use the bathroom
9) You become slightly delusional in the dark after being awake for 21 hours
10) IHOP's omelets are amazing!!! I'm not really sure how I know this considering I inhaled it!
Overall feeling pretty good today! Until next time........
