First nighttime trail run....by choice!

Decided to spice things up a bit and go for my trail run pre-dawn.  Spent 5 miles in complete darkness on Turkey Mt trails near Tulsa, Ok. Mild-mod technical single track trail just outside of town.  It was strange. No fear of the darkness and critters (normally I have a huge problem with this!), just fear of falling....which i did only once!  My husband was out there too, though after the first quarter mile I didn't seem him for another 2 hours. Only a possum who was as freaked out by me as I was by him.  After 5-6 miles the sun came up and around mile 8 suddenly the turbo boosters fired!  I felt like I was flying...my garmin indicated otherwise, but it sure felt fast!  I came over some rolling hills and couldn't help but raise my arms like wings as I was flying above the river next to me like a hawk....maybe that's why the possum was freaked out!  I few little uphills made me work again and the ride was over.  What a fun morning!
