Lighting the way

I recently caved in and went out and bought a headlamp for running. Admittedly it was only an el cheapo from Aldi, but seems to do the job just nicely.

What prompted this purchase you may ask – well I must admit that in the past I was only using my feet to guide me over the earth’s surface and as an indicator or rough or smooth or hard or soft terrain. This has served me very well, but a friend pointed out to me that perhaps one of the headlights would help that little bit more than just using the good old feet. I fear I may lose the ability to trust the feet and the instinct of knowing where they are when I put them down.

I can report that if it is not likely to break the bank, then one of these headlamps are indeed a good investment. As mentioned I happened to find mine at Aldi, but you could also pick up some decent ones from the likes of your local mountaineering and climbing shops.

Good luck with the night running.
