"The best laid schemes o' mice an' men / Gang aft agley." Some nights I arrive at the church at 8:15 and they are waiting for me tapping their feet and watches...tonight I was hoping would be one of those nights.....ummmmmmmmmmm........... No. Everyone talked at length, walked like they had lead in their shoes and just generally moved like they were in molasses. I got everyone home and told them I would be back and headed out to run. This time I decided that the "traditional" bridges route might be worth a go since the streetlights were on and this is the best lit part of town. I headed down the steep hill on which we reside plunging toward the river. I dislike running downhill. It hurts my knees and I feel like I might stumble and do myself no small harm....so I padded down to the crosswalk and awaited the light....crossed and was off.....at night with a nice strong breeze coming down the river and lightning off to my left...to the north...and then Pfft-th-pfft-ack-aahh-spit-spit apparently the bridge is the place for bugs at night...duh...ah...call it extra protein....ewwww anyway I rounded the 2 bridge and felt great. I decided that I didn't want to cross the northern bridge again to avoid the bugs so I crossed the street and headed back toward the south bridge...I turned to head toward home (more or less) and headed up the hill...through the park and added a weave to extend the run... knees hurting...feeling great...I need to run at night on a semi- regular basis!
