It was beautiful again today. I meant to go outside in the early afternoon, but I watched the first half of the football game on TV, worked on my computer, made dinner, and

It didn’t help that daylight savings ended today and we lost an hour.

I went for a run after dark. The moon was like a fingernail clipping in the night sky. The lamps along the trail in the park were all turned off. I could just barely see the paved trail under my feet.

With less to see, my mind’s eye turned inward. I could feel my breath pumping in and out of my body. I could feel the shockwaves radiating up my legs as my heels impacted the pavement, as well as the subsequent flexing of my muscles to stabilize the shakiness.
