Night Running

JRSonday · December 2010

Any of you guys runners? If so, WTF are you doing now that it's dark really early and cold? I did the treadmill last year, but I loathe it so hard ...

I am. I will run in the wee morning hours or after work (which I haven't run after work in a long time). I have a reflective vest and just ordered another headlamp (previous one fell apart). When it's chilly out for me, I wear layers....either running tights and a long sleeved running shirt (maybe a short sleeve underneath), hat and cheap gloves. I also am not a fan of the treadmill but ran on that yesterday since it was pouring rain and I have no rain gear for running (didn't feel like getting soaked for 5 miles).

I couldn't break into a run if there was a guy coming at me wielding an axe. I am THAT lame. My heart rate jumps to over 200 after 2 mins on a tread mill. I'm actually supposed to take beta blockers everyday for it. It's my 'get out of exercise free' card. I do admire you committed girlies though. maybe in another life..

Are you terrified while running at night? I'm nervous about it ... dumb I know. I'm afraid one step into the darkness and I will get chased by the guy wielding the ax mentioned by diablesse. :-)

I have a compression top, but it chokes me. The other problem is that I'm fairly lanky, so finding stuff that is long enough is becoming problematic as well.

No, except for this one morning where this guy scared the heebiejeebies out of me by asking if knew where this grocery store was. After jumping 3 feet forward when he startled me I told him no even though I knew where he was talking about and sprinted off.

DH knows I go running in the morning, if I go after work and he's home I tell him where I'm going. I hate, hate, hate the treadmill and can only last 5-6 miles at a slower pace than what I run on the road with.

5-6 miles? Wow! I'm lucky if I make it three miles, but I get bored rather quickly. I'm totally with you -- it's the dreadmill, you know?

leolyns · December 2010

Yes sure is the dreadmill. That's why I've only used it a few times this year.

Dude, me either. And I don't even have a health excuse. I think I'd rather set myself on fire than run.

I've been using the treadmill at the gym since work has been nonstop so I haven't been getting home until 7-8ish every night. I should try to run in the a.m. but I just love snuggling in bed in the morning.

Fortunately for me our treadmills have a tv with more cable channels than my house so I just put on a show and get going. A girl that runs at the same time as me has an iPad loaded with Grey's Anatomy so she runs for one episode a day. I covet her iPad.

Firestarter here too.

I admire you ladies that run. I cannot for the life of me run. If I do anything, it is the elliptical at the gym. I havent been to the gym since before the wedding. Baah.. I guess after Christmas I better start back!
