Palmer Happy Run

I heard about the group of runners who gather every Monday night at 6 pm here in downtown Palmer to run.  It was horribly windy tonight but I wanted to see what it was like.  It was really fun.  From now on , all of their runs will be at night in the dark until next spring.  But with a good headlight that won't be a problem.  They had three distance options and I chose the longest which was 5.6 miles.  There were only a small number who ran that distance. Naturally I was last.  But I was more motivated just knowing that I was part of the group even though the faster runners soon left me behind. 
Matanuska Peak looked amazing as the sun was setting.
