Running in the moonlight!

I was down south today and when I got back I felt I needed to run.  Just a short run but it needed to be fast as I have a duathlon on Sunday (5km run/20km bike/5km run).  The duathlon is extremely tough as you go full out leaving nothing "in the tank" which means the 2nd run is hell.
I left the house just before dust and was only gone 25 minutes but returned in darkness except for the light of the moon - at 7.30pm!  This also means I am going to need to invest in a head lamp as I'll be doing many more miles in the dark.
I will be swimming in the morning and following Tuesday nights session I hope that I am starting to return to some form, but there's still a long way to go.  I'm also meeting with my coach tomorrow to discuss the plan for the next 225 days which I'm excited about.
