Normally I run in the mornings, though sometimes I have enough energy to run in the evening, I’ve never run in the dark before though!

Good job being disciplined to do that!
My work schedule is weird and changes a lot. Mostly I’ll do my long runs on the weekend. But if I have a Monday off or go in late or get out early, sometimes I’ll do the long run on Monday, or Friday, etc. You’re right, sometimes life gets in the way!

I do my long runs on the weekends early in the morning. This is my favorite time. Its my first priority and there are hardly any cars out there. Night time or afternoons are a major struggle. I’m just so exhausted from work and taking care of the family. Great job on your run!

In the morning! I ran last night after dark and it’s creepy… for some reason running in the dark BEFORE the sun comes up isn’t scary, but after it goes down that’s spooky! Maybe because the ‘bad guys’ are asleep at 5am?

I like to do my long runs on Sunday mornings. In the summer when it’s hot I force myself to get up early and get it done (there’s just no other option) and during the cooler months, I’ll wait until around 10 or 11 to go. I don’t have a problem running at night if I have someone with me, but in the summer it’s just too hot to run at night (unless, of course, thre’s no other option like in your case) Great job getting out there and doing it!!

Way to go on hitting that run! I like doing runs later than sooner since for whatever reason I can’t ever seem to fully warm up in the morning.

I like to workout in the morning but you do what you have to do to get your workouts in!

I have been doing my long runs during the week and on the weekends but always in the morning. When training for a shorter distance (half marathon training right now), I usually stick to lunch time runs and almost always during the week. I’m getting pretty used to my weekend runs though so I might stick to them a little after the half is over.

You’re going to do great! I know when I tend to overthink what I am capable of running, I don’t do as well. Just think if you got 7, you got 9.3!

I actually love to run in the dark – I find it easier to zone out, which helps me work things out in my mind and decrease stress. When I was training for my first half-marathon it was summer in South Carolina and the only times that were cool enough was when it was dark. I routinely ran around the neighborhood from 8-10pm and I loved it. Most of my friends thought I was nuts, but there were plenty of streetlights, we had several friends living in different areas of our neighborhood and I felt completely safe. There were also a TON of cops that lived in our neighborhood and I made note of where all their houses were, just in case.
