It was pretty late by the time I got home, and a cloudy moonless night; cool to cold all day, and a chill breeze to run in. All the while there was a bit of the lurkng mugginess one expects at this time of year, so it wasn't like March or anything--but I went from running in a sleeveless T and shorts (Tue) to a collared long-sleeved fleece w/ long training pants (Wed). Only in New England (or Hokkaidô?)!
Revisited a run from last November (Nov. 19, '06, to be precise): again running in the dark and again doing it for the hills, but I cut out the run up to the town common, opting for a right onto 9 and home instead. So, I started out onto 9, along to Bay, down there to the bottom of Allen, then Allen all the way, uphill to 9, across and uphill to the top, then down to cross 202 and up hill again. Enfield downhill to 9, and home. Stopped the clock at the country crossroads store. It felt pretty good at times, though with al teh gear on and being a day after a long run, it was まま:
Time: 43:22
Speed: 7.9 mph
Distance: 5.73 miles
Comment: just what the doctor ordered. One more to go before the flight, though doing so much mileage in three days will leave me pretty sore, I suspect. I definitely prefer rest-days between. . .

Can never be sure of your footing in a night run, though it sounds quite relaxing and leaves me feeling nostalgic. 懐かしい, and very, very 羨ましい. I'm on the verge of getting the gumption to start trotting around the neighborhood to test out my leg. Hopefully by the time you fly back in I'll be ready to follow along on some runs. This is your England trip, right? When will you be back? Hope to hear about some nice morning jogs while you're there.
なるほど。I made sure to stick to known roads, and when they're quiet I run righ tdown the middle (so I can choose the camber, and so I'm less likely to hit a lumpy verge, etc.).
Yes, England for a couple of weeks, and I'll blog from there if I can. Good luck with getting your running legs back -- take it easy!
