I can sleep so much better when I can have my little routines... a bath... read my book. It seems to help. Anyway I got up early today, but did a few things before I got out the door. I wore my new headlamp, and I'm not sure I like it. Besides the band that goes around my head, there is a band that goes acrossed the top. My old one did not have this. This one seems a bit bigger also. Usually I wear it over a hat, but today a just wore it without. The band that goes aross the top of my head is annoying!! It might be getting cut off soon. There are only two settings with the light... on... then flashing. I don't understand the need for a flashing light, I swear the flashing is so maddening it could probably induce seizures. When I got out of my immediate neighborhood there was a bit more traffic. I think people in cars think when they see a headlight bobbing at them in the distance they need to blind you with their bright car lights LOL.

A pretty good run overall... I won't be getting any more mile today, I have an appointment after work.

I am not liking it that it was dark enough for a headlamp! This return to darkness is always so hard.

It sounds like you were part of the Sub-6 club this morning if it was still dark when you got out. Nice job, good miles.

Good job getting out early this morning.

I have no idea what the flashing light on the headlamps is for. And that's an interesting thought about what it looks like to cars. I never thought about that before.

Nice run! Sorry about the headlamp, that would bug me too -I hate that it's getting dark earlier too!!

Good early run, nice pace too.
