I still had to navigate there\/back in the dark, so a 15 minute walk might turn into 30.  This year, the training is outdoors, and we&#8217;re just going to have to deal with it (as well as a temperamental weather dog).<\/p>\n<p>Tonight was the first dark run, and it was in the rain to boot.  The leg out wasn&#8217;t too bad, as we were going into the light, even when we were in the trees.  However, it got more challenging on the way back.<\/p>\n<p>The lesson from tonight is that until DST ends in the spring, we&#8217;re just going to need to run with the tether.  Even if I can&#8217;t see a thing as we&#8217;re running, I plan on doing it.  For two simple reasons &#8211; I trust my guide completely and with my life, and I refuse to be a prisoner of the dark.<\/p>\n<p>After the run, we headed over to a meet &#038; greet at a local Binny&#8217;s.  Meeting Mr. Wilson (&#8217;85 Bears) was a great way to end a long week! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last year at this time, I had access to a gym and could go run indoors when it got dark early.
