Davis Mooo-nlight Run

This was my first time running the Davis Moonlight Run.  Yowza, this is a crowded run.  I’m not sure what I was expecting, but it was abuzz with activity.  Helpful note: Don’t take the Richards Exit.  Take the exit before or the exit after.  I was sitting on the shoulder of I-80 waiting to take the exit before I decided to pass it all up and take the next one.  City streets were much easier to navigate coming from the other direction.  Thank you iPhone for the great GPS help!

It was HOT that day, with humidity.  Ick!  I had memories of my first marathon in Honolulu, though not quite as severe….and not quite the same scenery.  LOL  The run itself was really nice – mostly flat city/neigborhood streets.  I enjoyed running past through the different parks and neighborhoods, and simply seeing Davis away from the college campus I’ve always known it for.

Overall, I liked this run.  I could do without the heat, but as the night progressed it got much cooler.  Even more so for me because I was on the road forever!  My only complaint was not enough water stops especially for the first half when it was torturously hot.  I run with a water belt, but still….

Oh, and some chicken would be nice too.  I was hungry running through my usual dinner hour.  LOL

Can’t wait to run it again next year!
