Ooh, congratulations on having an enjoyable race. Why did you have to run without your glasses? I could never do that!
I've done an afternoon 5K a few times (they call it "a night at the races" but it's on a summer evening so it's still light out) but never actually at night.
This was a neat thing where they gave us armbands with flashing lights and a lot of people were wearing glowsticks or glow-in-the-dark clothing, and they also had police blocking off traffic, so it wasn't seriously dangerous, there were just some little gaps on the pavement and such that I could've tripped on.
I used to run without my glasses all the time but it was mostly very familiar terrain and during the day. But I broke my glasses last week, snapped them right in half at the bridge. I've ordered new ones (gah, money) and am keeping the old ones together with superglue in the meantime, but they don't stay on very well and I'm worried about them being more fragile, so I left them at home Saturday night.
I almost forgot to pick up my t-shirt at the end because I could not see the t-shirt table! :D
Oh hey the results just went up! I finished in just under 31 minutes and about a third of the way through the pack (there were a lot of people walking). Yay! That is about the same time as the one I did in June. Next one will be better!
