Ran the Yeti Nightmare last night at Sweetwater Creek State Park. I ran this one last year too. The plan was to run it again with Melissa and Sandy but Melissa was sick so it was just Sandy and I. It was a great time once again. The 5 miler started at 7:15 so that it was dark. Sean (Run Bum Tours) started us off with the pledge of "We are here to have fun," and off we went into the dark woods. It was a beautiful night - perfect for running (50s I think).
I didn't fall (as I've been known to do on the trail), but I did stumble a few times. My new Cree headlamp worked great. It was super bright and it was pretty comfortable. I was worried it might start to irritate me after a few miles but it didn't. We had a great photo op with DJ (Yeti with sparkle beard), but no yetis jumped out at us in the woods this year. The DJ/yeti was so cool. He was having so much fun messing with people and taking photos with everyone.

Of course the race ended with a nice pint of draft beer. Sweetwater brewery donated a few kegs. So we got a shirt, pint glass, beer, and a run that was a blast. Trail runners do seem to have more fun that street runners. I need to try some more Run Bum or Yeti events.
