Running  By Jennifer Colvin  night runningYour senses are
heightened when you're in the woods in the dark. You begin to
notice things that you might miss in the daylight, things like
the sound of the wind in the trees, your own breathing, and at
times, complete silence.  Trail running at night is a rush
that's sure to break you out of your normal workout routine.
Even if you've been on a certain trail a hundred times before,
it looks and feels different in the dark.  This all adds up to
make your run a lot more exciting than a route on a well-lit

reality, trail running at night isn't that dangerous, as long as
you follow a few safety tips.  Choose a Nearby Trail Since your
