I missed the light months. Its dark again. Bummer. I was running south along the trail when something black streaked in front of me down the trail and then off to the right. It looked look a cat but it was dark. Skunks don't run that fast do they? Anyway, I'm scared of skunks, especially after getting hit a bit earlier in the year. So I decided to hug the left side of the trail even though it was probably just a cat. I heard it rustling in the bushes as I passed. Its pretty creepy along the trail in the dark and rustling in the bushes just adds to the creepyness factor. Well, just then I brushed my left leg against some high grass growing just off the left side of the trail that I didn't see. I just about jumped out of my skin! Over grass! I felt a little foolish after that but the adrenaline was still pumping pretty hard. As for the run, it was better. Its amazing how much you loose after a few months with almost no running. But today showed a lot of improvement over Monday.
