It was cold and windy this morning around 30 F ( -1 C). I paced myself in a slower fashion, as fighting the wind is useless. On my last stretch, in a dark area of an industrial park, I saw 3 human figures running at me, as I gave way, it was 3 women running in the dark. There are no sidewalks, so they were in the street. They had hi-vis jackets on, but the buildings at that point have been vacant for years, so they never turn on lights and it is pitch black in that section, so there was no light to reflect. Also given that the county has cut back on street lights. It is a bit troubling to have people running at you in the cold and dark 5 am hour.
