I have always been a bit of a lost soul. Never quite sure of myself in most situations, but never lacking in imagination as a tool for recovery.
As a result, it was no surprise to me tonight when I went out for a 4 miler and found myself turned around in a development and unable to figure out how to get out, and my run turned into a 5 miler. Also cool, my pace was a 4 mile pace…that I held for 5.
Also, running in the dark, on streets, in a town, can be damn scary. I need a reflective vest. I have no doubt in my mind if I continue to do what I have been doing, I am going to get hit with a car.

Wow, yes, please do be careful out there! I’m glad you made it out – getting lost really just isn’t much fun.
Wear a helmet with a light on it, like a spelunker. The height of cool.
What you failed to mention… is that you ran so fast over five miles because some Carlem drug dealer was chasing you off his corner. I thought your Garmin would show you the way home…? No?
