Well here we are again. The magical time of the year that is Christmas. Of course it’s a busy season, and for my family throw in a couple birthdays, and a wife that has an irregular schedule, and a weather pattern that’s not always conducive to getting outside and running. I don’t always get the miles in that I would like. I have to be flexible in the times that I get to go out and run, and last night was one of those times. I didn’t get out the door till almost 10, and it turned out to be a wonderful time to run. Now my body was tired from the day, and it was a little windy, so I didn’t set any records. However what awaited me was spectacular. As I was getting ready to leave it dawned on me that everybody’s Christmas lights would be on. So I adjusted my normal route to make sure that I would go by all the streets that have homes on them in our neighborhood. Now I enjoy looking at Christmas lights, but getting to actually run past them, rather than driving was amazing. I want to recommend even if you’re not a night runner to schedule at least one night run in the next couple of weeks. If you don’t live in a neighborhood full of Christmas lights or perhaps your community is small take a drive to a larger, more widely lit neighborhood, and enjoy. You won’t be disappointed. I’d be open to taking you through my hood if your close by.
