I thought I would change up my routine and run this morning (non-race). After dragging my ass out of bed at 6:00, I was on the track by 6:30. The track in the mornings are not as crowded as they are in the evening. There were a few souls out but not many. I learned that there are two kinds of runners. There is the runner that loves getting up and heading out on a run first thing in the morning. Then there are the runners that love going out running in the evening and into the dark. I realize I am a evening running after this morning. The run this morning was VERY humid. It was all I could do to make it around twice without stopping. I would think it would be cooler due to the fact that the ground has had time to cool all night. Not the case. At least in the evening there is a cool breeze sometimes. So I will reserve my mornings for races and sleeping at least until it gets cooler and run in the evenings.
Well, at least you can say you tried morning runs! They're just easier for me because of work...but I'm usually done by 6:30 a.m. (I just run in the neighborhood).
ReplyDeleteI too am an evening/night runner. I have tried non-race morning runs and they just do not work for me. I have a difficult time getting out of the bed and the run itself just isn't as exhilarating for me. I love to run at night. I feel free and energetic. Nothing beats a good run on a cool fall night!
