I tried a new experiment this morning, and once again, I didn't get hurt. (except for one pesky rock about a mile and a half into the experiment.) What did I do? I ran without my glasses. I figured this couldn't be too much more dangerous than running in the dark.
Now, if you have good eyesight, you can't do this experiment. But you could run barefoot in the dark, which is a close approximation.
I ran for about 40 minutes with glasses, and being able to see. Then I ditched my glasses and went for about 20 minutes blind. I think the hardest part of this is trusting my feet.
I'm not totally blind without my glasses. I can see well enough to avoid cars, trucks, buses, other runners, bikers, and roller bladers.
On a totally different note, I just wanted to say that it was actually warm in Chicago today. Low 70's this morning. Almost like summer.
Thanks for listening.
