Great job :-)

It's so good to have a schedule to follow, to keep you on track and give you a realistic and healthy benchmark.

Ugh, the heat. I've been trying with more or less success to haul myself out of bed early, so I can run before it gets too hot. How do you find running mornings and evenings compares? Does running in the evening keep you awake at night, and do you miss the energy and mood boost that a morning run would have given you?

I started my Wednesday run around 20.30h and was home about an hour later, which for me means almost bedtime. It took me a while to calm down enough to go to bed, though. Not pulse and breathing, that's down again by the time I walk back through the door, but all the rest.

My Sunday run started around 06.45h, and I was again home about an hour later. Felt a lot better - as you said, mood and energy boost. I definitely prefer running in the morning, or at least not quite as late as on Wednesday. Although the scents of the evening air are very nice, too. *g*

Yes, the evening air is so lovely this time of year. I miss my usual evening walks fiercely, but I can't both walk and run, it's too hard on me.

If you prefer running in the mornings, I'm sure I would feel the same. Thank you for sharing your experience :-)
