Twin Peaks at Night

Well, one thing’s for sure: run­ning at night in an area with mod­er­ate auto­mo­bile traf­fic and no side­walks or street­lights is a bad idea. I don’t think I’m going to push my luck by try­ing that again, even though the view from Twin Peaks at night is stunning.

But I did my best time on that par­tic­u­lar 5k loop: 30:18. Made it a nice fast (con­sid­er­ing that’s a tremen­dous climb — five hun­dred feet if I recall cor­rect­ly — in a mile and a half) brisk, chal­leng­ing and fun run. I took 1:10/mile off of my pace from the last time I ran up Twin Peaks.

Now, must stretch and eat lots of salt. No fun get­ting anoth­er charley horse.
