I know the feeling of where you are ...good for you! I know the feeling of where you are and where you were. I think about that stuff too, all the time. <BR/><BR/>spider webs are a fact of life in the middle of the night - they tend to be in exactly the same places - spiders rebuild each night - so you will know where to look for them.Vickiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05452333714845476967noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27032973.post-70663844649703110312007-09-21T16:08:00.000-05:002007-09-21T16:08:00.000-05:00Downy smell from the dryer vent......mmmmmmmmm.......Downy smell from the dryer vent......mmmmmmmmm....one of the very first smells I noticed when I first began running. It's the best! (and I am now glad someone else shares this same weird enjoyment, LOL!)<BR/><BR/>I used to run at night all the time....tunes are okay, but only in one ear. I keep the other one peeled for Marcy's criminals!<BR/><BR/><BR/>Congrats on conquering the impossible! :)Pokeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07508944961795409606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27032973.post-6447262541885106562007-09-21T14:08:00.000-05:002007-09-21T14:08:00.000-05:00your muscles retain water from running so you can ...your muscles retain water from running so you can blame the scale movement on running if you want to...great job on the 4 miler...but a cell phone in a sports bra. I can't imagine the pain. <BR/><BR/>I guess I don't really think about the darkness anymore because I leave two hours before sunrise. There are virtually no cars on Palm Beach at that hour and few street lights. Running in darkness seems to have improved my balance though. My shadow sneaks up on me from time to time and makes me nervous and I do plenty of 'almost falls' on cracks in the sidewalk/street that I can't see, but it is all part of the game. <BR/><BR/>in this instance, I think hindsight is a wonderful thing - to see exactly how far you've come is only motivation to keep going. have a great weekend.wshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04030953897283161914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27032973.post-20354690854932777172007-09-21T13:25:00.000-05:002007-09-21T13:25:00.000-05:00Your description of your shadows, the neighborhood...Your description of your shadows, the neighborhood, the smells -- all were wonderfully written and very vivid. <BR/><BR/>I am proud of you for running at night (I would be scared to do that) and glad you have the running ID bracelet. Your husband said all of the perfect things to you. You deserved to hear that!Lori G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02167055316077502640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27032973.post-83916574372397277872007-09-21T11:38:00.000-05:002007-09-21T11:38:00.000-05:00It sounds like you had a great run.

That is what I miss about walking outside, the smells in the neighborhood: from perfumed dryer sheets to dinner smells and outdoor grilling (probably not the best smells if dieting).<BR/><BR/>I never thought about an ID bracelet before. That is so smart. <BR/><BR/>I think I would be a little afraid to run at night. But I still look for the boogey man under my bed everynight.<BR/><BR/>Have a great weekend.Grumpy Chairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17719618593765537673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27032973.post-13334571085666869442007-09-21T11:18:00.000-05:002007-09-21T11:18:00.000-05:00You weren't scared at all?

I have to go without the tunes too (you know, so I'll hear someone trying to chase after me from behind LMAO!)Marcyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14148093449696230770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27032973.post-52913687350075445752007-09-21T10:54:00.000-05:002007-09-21T10:54:00.000-05:00I love your stories of running... and the fact tha...I love your stories of running... and the fact that you started where I am now. It makes me have hope that this time next year you will be reading my story of running 4 miles! <BR/><BR/>The running ID bracelet is a great idea. Will have to remember that next spring when I will start to venture outside to run. <BR/><BR/>Great job completing your 4 miles.. and remembering your water bottle!Tigerlillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15652766012223389403noreply@blogger.com
