My Favorite Quote-   "When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you, till it seems as though you could not hold on a minute longer, never give up then, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn." -Harriet Beecher Stowe

I started running in May of 2006 while losing 85 lbs after my youngest was born.  I have 6 fantastic kids, 3 girls and 3 boys and a wonderful husband.  My oldest is in college and my baby is in pre-school. (Six kids in 5 schools ;)

The goal was to run this at 11mm average or better.  Goal accomplished :)  I started this run at 9:15pm.  I have never run at night before.  A cop flipped around to check me out.  He took off as soon as he could see that I was an old lady ;) 

With about two miles to go, I turfed it.  Splat!  If it haddn't been pitch black, a bunch of loitering teens, would have had a good laugh ;) I ran it off.  I have skinned hands, knees and a bump here and there.  My left hip hurts and my right calf feels like it's pulled. I don't remember hitting my teeth, but they hurt.  I did an ice bath as soon as I came in the door.  Oh well.  I'm pooped and I don't think I'll run at night again :P

***Morning after note- don't do longer runs at night.  It makes for a rough night of sleep and waking up feeling like CRAP! :p  I have a bruised knee cap.

Oh Marion, you must be careful when running in the pitch black. I hope you heal quickly, ouch! I am sure you will laugh about it in about ten years. Maybe less! :)

Ouch! I like running at night, but always use a headlamp so I don't do face plants.
