6.4 Mile Run in the Albany Pine Bush
Wednesday, December 3, 2008

A good night for a run in the woods - cool but not terribly cold (which unfortunately meant I overdressed somewhat) with a relatively clear sky so that I could see the crescent moon and lots and lots of stars.

I definitely felt the effects of not running much over the last month, both in the fact that an easy six mile run wasn't nearly as easy as it should have been and in that it took some getting used to running in the dark with my headlamp. I think it's time to stop being so lazy and slowly ramp up my distance again... especially given that in six to seven months I'm hoping to run both a trail marathon (NIPMUCK!) and a trail 50k (Finger Lakes.)
