I am so tired. This race is a favorite but it takes a lot out of me every year because I am way past my years of midnight being a real time on the clock. I was happy with the look of the lit-up tunic, but I always forget to test out how the battery packs are going to hang and bounce around. Alas, not quite a mile in, all the lights were out. I also had to pull the goggle things off because they fogged up. BUT! I got to run with a friend the entire time; she’s usually pushing “sidekick” in a stroller but he was home sleeping, duh. Also, a guy found me afterward and thanked me for the music to motivate. It turns out “Whip It” was exactly the tempo for that final long hill. The playlist was randomly (well, partially randomly – there were must-haves) created from VH1’s top 100 1-hit wonders of the 80s.
