I have really been enjoying running in the dark lately. There's one spot on our usual path where the street lights are out and it's only possible to just make out the sidewalk and bushes in the dimness. And I kind of love that part. It's like the purest part of the run for me, because I'm not looking around, I'm not thinking about anything but staying on the sidewalk and getting through the dark spot. It's a calm and simple time.
Heather and I have recently been talking about changing things up by adding sprint intervals and possibly games of some sort to our runs, so last night, I thought I'd try sprinting for 20-30 paces every time a new song started on my shuffle. It definitely added intensity! It wasn't impossible, but it was a challenge for sure!

Sometimes I feel like I will never increase my speed or my stamina. I know I'm not supposed to compare myself to other people but it's hard not to when you run with people and you see how much faster and farther they are than you. Of course I'm not putting nearly the time and effort into it that you both are. I need to remind myself to go at my own pace and be happy with that.
Think about it this way -- a year ago, you couldn't do nearly what you can now! You've progressed a lot more than you probably realize. I think you're doing fantastic!
