Moonlight Run

Two days ago, I went out to run at 10 am from intersection of E. River rd & Bailey rd, all way up to lights at intersection of John rd and Bailey rd. Instantly I was hit with heavy heat and humid in scorching sun as it was an open road with no shades thrown on it. My body feel laden and screaming for water as eyes were starting to see black spots. I stopped to duck into shade way off road about 3/4 of Bailey rd before John rd.
I gave in to nature .
Tonight at 9 pm, bit late, yes, I went out to run (never ever went for run at night beside walking, rollerblading, and biking) in much cool air with just enough light to last. This time nature and I was able to cooperate :) I managed to run all way from start to lights of John rd and back to the start with no stopping. At end, it feel like you weren't connected to your body as it sort of float on, knees bending and foot placing front of each other. Good long run!
Highlight of night, lots of fireflies in meadows on the side of road!

yeah I can sympathize with you, I hate running out in the direct sunlight. My energy dissipates much faster in the sun that's why I love going out for a run in the dark, especially midnight run :) although I wouldn't recommend it for women for obvious reasons.

And be sure to wear light coloured clothes or some with reflective strips so that cars can see you in the dark!

Don't think it is even safe for anyone to go jogging at night in NYC! :)
