Running IN THE DARK is even more difficult than usual. I didn't get time until well after sunset, so had to run my "City" route, with street lights that aren't synchronized with my pace, curbs, uneven sidewalks.
This shorter pace I'm also noticing a lot more semi-painful strikes on the ball of my foot. Since time was going to be off, I stretched out the stride thru about 1/2 the run last night and that ball pain was relieved. Flat-er strike overall takes some of the pressure off the ball of the foot.
