This past weekend we saw daylight savings time come to an end. With that end, my after-work running also comes to an end. But with change comes new opportunity! The time change affords me the opportunity to run in the morning before work, at least for a little while. And really, what better way to start the week than with a morning run? So I donned my cold weather gear and met a friend for a run this morning. We plan to do the same again on Wednesday.
How do you feel about the time change? Do you find that you also need to adapt?
[edited to add: I live in a rural residential area with no street lights and no sidewalks. I do not feel that it is safe to run after dark in my particular neighborhood.]
Do you not like to run while its dark??
ReplyDeleteI like it, I guess. It's a bit lighter in the morning. I try to focus on the festive nature of the season while it's so dark in the afternoon.
ReplyDeleteWe don't have that here by us. I'm not sure how I would feel about it.
ReplyDeleteWell, I wouldn't like to run in the dark if those were my circumstances either. Hope you can get your runs in!!
ReplyDeleteThe little things that you don't realize are hard with DST ending. I couldn't figure out why at 1015am I'm ready to gnaw my arm off out of starvation.
ReplyDeleteWell I eat lunch at 1130...with the time change, there we go.
I don't run in the dark alone either. It creeps me out!
ReplyDeleteHappy that it's light sooner now! Not only that, we're experiencing cooler weather. Fall is great!
ReplyDeleteAdapting is tough, but I don't mind too much because for at least a couple of weeks again we have some light at slightly more reasonable hours in the morning. Sun-up at 8 this week instead of 9. At this point, though, unless I can squeeze in a run in the middle of the day, I'm pretty much treadmill-bound for the next couple of months.
ReplyDeleteThere is no better way than running first thing in the morning, you feel accomplished and you can play for the rest of the day :-) i'm not a dark outside runner either, i then switch to the treadmill.
