Running: A.M. or P.M.?
 

Do you run in the A.M. or P.M.?


A: A.M. only

B: P.M. only

C: Both

I meant to do this as a poll but for some reason it wouldn't let me. Oh well.

My answer is: A.

C: Both

Depends on the day. Weekdays I choose to run in the evening b/c I just can't get up that early (yet) to run. Weekends are great for morning running for me.

Well i hear running in the morning kick starts your metabolism, Soooo AM!

A: I run/exercise the morning. Since I am a stay-at-home mom that lets me it get over with before the excuses pile up :)

PM! That's the only time I've got!

AM all the way! PM only if I missed my AM for some reason.

Noon! I guess that is technically PM, but I run on my lunch hour...

AM for sure! I just can't run/exercise in the PM.

EARLY A.M. when no one is around and then it's over and done with

Afternoon/Evening. I just can't drag myself out of bed any earlier than I have to. I also can't run on an empty stomach, but can't run within an hour or two of eating so I'm not waking up at 4 to eat, to run for 5, to shower for 6 to get to work for 8. ha!

P.M. for me.

I use my run as a reward for getting my other things done and a way to get out of the house. It's a nice way to end the day and is a good stress release.

I might change it up a bit and start running mornings as the weather warms up and the days start to get longer.

Both. But by far my performance is better in the p.m. Dusk really. There's nothing like watching the sunset during a run. Absolutely breathtaking!!
