I see orbs
The urbanite run was indeed unique – in a lot of aspects, champion chip included.
This is my first time to run a night race, and apparently the first time for more than 3000 other runners. It’s a good thing that I decided to arrive at the venue early – because at around 6pm (2 hours before the race), the parking slots were already full – I think this is due to the accumulated mass between the regular shoppers at BHS and those who would be running the evening race.
I thought that since this was a night race, it would be a refreshing and relaxing activity. I was wrong – it was very humid that night; and the proximity of the other runners as well as the spot lights weren’t helping either.
The 15k race started at around 8:15 pm. I was expecting all the streets to be well lit – well, it was, the street lights were doing their job.
You see, I thought that the organizers would be using “extra” lights to make the path “more” visible – but that’s ok; it was still fun.
While we were running the “darker” parts of the cemetery, the only thing that was left to see were the glowing “light sticks” (I don’t know what they are called) which were given to the runners. Most runners have used them either as bracelets or ornaments for their bibs.
Somehow one can’t help but wonder if that is all that one sees in the darkness and not actual spiritual orbs. Hehehe
This is fun – organizers should do it more often.
