Race 12 at night!

Race number 12 brought me back to Davis to complete yet another half marathon!  The Davis Moonlight which started around 7 o'clock at NIGHT!

Rose joined me for this race! I was excited to have her running the night race with me. 
Getting ready to conquer Davis!
The sun was still shining as Rose and I started the race.  I decided I wanted to stick to the run 5 minutes walk 1 minute, to see if I could go longer and farther during my running sprints.  I like the idea of running intervals because you know you will have a chance to recover before your next sprint out.
I was feeling very proud of my time as I finished the first loop of the race.  This race had a few similarities to the Davis Stampede I did earlier this year, but different starting and stopping points.
As soon as it got dark it was dark!  There were many points where I was by myself and couldn't see the person in front of me or behind me!  I wasn't amused with that! 
As the race was nearing the end and I was checking my time I was ecstatic, as you will see by my face in the picture! :)  Race time 2:46!
Here I am crossing the finish line!
Yay! Rose we did it!!!
Davis  MOOnlight was another success in my book!
Next Race: San Francisco Half Marathon July 31!
