run: silent seattle

5 09 2008

Went for a late night run last night on my regular route.  It was around 9pm, so obviously needed my headlamp.  I’d never run out there that late, so I was amazed just how dark it was once I got under the tree canopy in carkeek park.  What a sharp contrast to the fuzzy glow of city light.  At a few points in the run, I couldn’t resist turning off the headlamp and trying to run in absolute pitch black.  I mean complete pitch black.  It was also completely silent – another rarity in the city.  It was great.
