Night Run

Last night I got in a 8 mile run after work. I started in the fading light of the day and finished in the dark. For some reason, I love running in the dark. It seems like it takes less effort and with the right shadows, it feels like I am being chased. Last night's run was the first run of the season that has actually felt good.
Running is a strange thing. In the beginning, you spend almost every moment of your run, trying to talk yourself out of stopping to walk. However, eventually you get to a point where that goes away and you can think about other things. That is what took place last night and that is when I know it is going to be a good run.
