Trail run at eleven.... pm?

I'm about to leave to meet my friend Meredith for a night trail run starting at 11pm.
We plan on running for 3 hours.

She is training to run an Ultra Marathon in a few weeks that will require night running when she's tired, so we're simulating a late night trail run as best we can.

I've never run this late at night, and I also don't really know what nutrition strategy should be, but I'm sure the couple of guiness beers I had earlier in the night will provide ample energy!
I'm not quite sure what to expect, but it'll be interesting, that's for sure. Especially since we're running a very hill Forest Ridge loop for 3 hours, after my hard 13 mile workout this morning.

About a third of the moon is out, which should be added help on top of the normal headlamp i've run in, at 5:30am on the greenbelt before.

This will be interesting, to say the least.

I wonder what wildlife will be out looking for 2 skinny runners as a meal?

If I don't report back before dawn, let authorities know that 2 runners are out on Forest Ridge's 8 mile loop somewhere!!
