Tunnel Hill 100 is nearing quickly, so it was time to step it up my game on my five hour runs and start doing them in the dark. On race day I’ll be running at least 4 hours in the dark, so I asked a couple of friends to join me on this night time adventure. It didn’t take much convincing at all and with the offer of stopping at Zukey Lake Tavern post-run they were all in!
I absolutely love night runs! Last night was perfect with a harvest moon:The sky was star lite and beautiful. We ran the Lakelands trail from Hamburg just past Gregory and back. The trail was peaceful and the weather was just right. I was able to try out what I plan to wear on race day.
I’ve been prepping for race day getting last minute running gear. I bought some Third Eye Headbands to replace the worn out bands on my Black Diamond Sprinter Headlamp. The bands come in a variety of cool, unique styles. I chose Tie Dye and Serape: I love both!! The band fit was perfect. It only took a couple minutes to switch out the old band with the new. The band stayed in place for my entire 5 hour run and for the time we spent closing down the bar post-run.
If you have a headlamp, that needs the band replaced, I highly recommend trying Third Eye Headbands. Their signature “Totally Awesome Headbands” will keep you looking legit on the trail. Additionally, Third Eye Headlamps is a member of 1% for the Planet.
