Running in the dark

It's funny...now that the time has changed and we have shorter days, I feel that I am trying to fulfill my days with as much daylight as possible. I often find myself finishing the day in the dark with the end of the day run. With this there is a lot to keep in mind.

1. Remember that the sidewalks are never even.

2. There may be a rut or hole if your running on trails.

3. Here in Chicago, I worry about running past alleys.

4. Wear reflective gear--not all black.

5. Try and run in a well lit area or path. And well traveled too.

Try and stay as safe as possible and don't have your ipod blaring. Your only as good with all your senses working together.
