Scared of the Dark??

Training Plan - 13Km at 6:00 Actual - 13.1 Km at 5:30 Days to GC Half - 32 Gotta be quick. Went out for my run last night at about 5:15, it was already dark. Went on Em's Mystery Tour of Sydney :-) Down to the Bridge, around Circular Quay and the Opera House and then skirted the Botanical Gardens and Mrs Maquaries Chair. That bit I have to say was totally terrifying, it was pitch black and they don't turn the lights on, needless to say I did a bit of Fartlek on that section (well, more like running like a scared little girl afraid of monsters coming out of the dark), I would have been fine if I had a guy with me but I won't be going back that way tonite! Also a bit jarring on the legs because the path was uneven and I couldn't see where I was putting my feet, it was that dark. Ended up in Oxford St at one point, how did I know?? The Liquor Shop had somehow been renamed the Lick-Her Shop, I kid you not! Anyway, to make up for loss of distance though the park tonight I will head over Sydney Harbor Bridge and back, should make for some great views, then up Maquarie St and perhaps up Oxford St again, see if I can get as far as Centenial Park. I was over the moon this morning to log on to the forum and see that the Sri Chinmoy results had come up and that I had finished 10th for my age category, especially happy as it is a pretty generous age range (18-39, I am 32). And yes, there were more than 10 people in the category!! A few weeks ago I set myself a goal of a to 10 category finish, can't believe I made it already, although it was a small field.
