There are some issues with running at night

Some annoying issues. Firstly, you have to think about feeding yourself properly during the day before the run. Turns out, eating three crispy shrimp tacos from Chili's for lunch followed by a Chick Fil-A peach milk shake will leave you feeling like your legs are sacks of flour and you'll have a wicked stitch in your side right around mile four that will last about half a mile. Flatulence while jogging also appears to increase exponentially when following this dietary path.

Duly. Noted.

Secondly, there are the bugs! Now, I should have anticipated this one, since the last "fourteener" that Chris hiked he came home looking like he had some kind of mumps or measles, so bad were the mosquito bites all over his back. We were honestly worried he would be turned away from the neighborhood pool due to concerns over infectious disease. Anyways, they are crazy, these bugs! Mosquitos the size of hornets, everywhere like gangs of marauding Hell's Angels, some of them flying kamikaze-style right into your mouth and nose. It's all rather unpleasant.

Anyways, when all was said and done, I went five miles, time was 1:01:47, 12:22/mile. Not bad.
