3 miles: 10 min/miles.
Elliptical : 20 minutes

I'm really enjoying this outside running! My mind wasn't with it today though, a bit unfocused or off..or something. So, it was only a 3 miler + 20minutes on my new bestie (our in home elliptical)

All my runs outside are in wonderful daylight. I don't run outside past 5pm, once it gets dark.
Sometimes (with work & life), there's just no way to squeeze in a run in the short daylight hours in the winter.
Do you ever run when it's dark out? Any problems at all?? Do you have reflective gear?
The latest I'd probably run would be between 7-8pm. I would really like to head out there because I enjoy outside running SO much more. I'm just not sure if it's safe?? Is it safe? I see people running outside in the dark all the time. For me, if I headed out, I'd run right downtown, where it's busiest. But, I'm still not sure if it's a good idea. Or, maybe I'm being a bit wimpy?!

My 25th (Yikes!!!!) Birthday is February 5th - yay for Aquarius! What's your sign!??
Dad and I are HUGE NBA fans, specifically Laker fans. I've been following them since I was about 9. I've never been to see the Lakers and my dad has never been to an NBA game.
Buuuuut, for my 25th birthday soon, we just got tickets to Lakers Vs Toronto Raptors on January 20th!!!!!!!!!!!!
I.AM.SO.EXCITED.
I'm so excited to take my dad to a game too!
Now, the only thing is, I'm gonna NEED the Laker guys to stay healthy and play that game..because God knows what could happen. Kobe Bryant is literally my most favourite sports athlete ever. eeeek. End excitement :D
Is there a sports team you're passionate in following??
I try not to run at night, but sometimes I do. I just make sure to wear something reflective, my headlamp, and stay in my neighborhood. I do not go into parks at all, which all technically close at dusk anyway.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on getting the tickets! Woo hoo! I am not much of an NBA fan, but the Lakers would be my favorite team if I had one.
"3 miler + 20minutes on my new bestie (our in home elliptical)" OMG I'm glad you added the part in the brackets, because I burst out giggling the first time I read that. ;D
ReplyDeleteI used to run in the evenings (so nobody would see my big butt jiggling!). I found the city was quite bright in the evenings and had no troubles, of course I stuck to sidewalks and didn't run on the roads.
BAHAHAHAHHAH oh gosh, that does sound wrong eh.
DeleteI do not run after dark alone. With someone else, sure! Power in numbers, right??
ReplyDeleteYay!! I am an aquarian too, I just knew you were extra special ;)
awesome workout!! and I'm happy you got tickets for your bday - perfect gift!! my bday is coming up too :)
ReplyDeleteNot allowed to run outside when it gets dark. The beauty of living at home with crazy overprotective grandma. Yea... I didn't really run in the dark when I lived at the university, Hamilton is pretty sketchy :S
ReplyDeleteI run in the dark in the early mornings in winter, with a reflective belt. I think it is safe but I suppose it depends on where you live and whether there are other runners/ walkers out there... also maybe the tough almost 4o year old is less appealing to the psycho than the cute 24 yr old:) Probably the biggest danger is missing your footing.
ReplyDeleteI haven't run outside past dark since it got before 60 degrees; it is hard enough to run in the sunlight! I have heard too many horror stories about women getting harassed or worse, so I don't blame you for being cautious. There is no shame in sticking to a home or gym workout!
ReplyDeleteI've run in the dark once in the past and I LOVED it....it felt a bit surreal (in a good way) and was overall very pretty because of the street lights! I was running with 2 other friends so I felt safe but if I was on my own, I'd probably be sure to take my phone and wear something bright!!
ReplyDeleteOh hey, my birthday is in February too! The 21st. Almost there!
ReplyDeletethat is going to be such a fun way to celebrate your bday! (mine is next week wednesday so i am capricorn, and yup, i have a lot of the characteristics!).
ReplyDeleterunning outside: i go early morn when it's still dark and make sure to stick to main streets. you have to do what feels right in your heart, though - no fun if you are running worried or stressed! good to have that treadmill option.
i am a leafs fan (shhhh!).
happy friday!
I run at night all the time. My hood is quite safe.
ReplyDeleteI'm an Aquarius too! My birthday is Feb 7th so we're close :) I totally admire you for running outside in the cold and snow. I'm afraid to run in the dark just because I'm a total klutz. But if you don't feel safe doing it don't, it's not worth the risk!
ReplyDeleteYay! That is so exciting you are going to the game!!I am just not a cold running person! I am a huge baby when it comes to that stuff!
ReplyDeletei'm pretty sure i'm a Libra(i think that's how you spell it lol)
ReplyDeletei only run in the dark if i'm with someone, otherwise i'm inside all the way!
i'm not a huge fan of anyone really, i love my patriots (football) but only watch the game if Chumly's in town, i get bored watching it byself i guess lol
We share a Bday! Although I turn 32 this year....wah, wah, wah. :)
ReplyDeleteI have yet to run outside in the winter - 1) because I don't have cold weather gear, 2) cause I am a wimp - It's COLD Out There!
However in the summer/fall I would push my night runs well into 'dusk' time frame. It was the only time I could get out there, but I also did enjoy running outside when everyone else is starting to settle in at home. Nice and Quiet out there.
I do night run - but it scares me lately. So I opt for the treadmill. BUT in the summer I run in the evening and love it - it stays light out WAY longer.
ReplyDeleteI run at night with my clinic, early morning in the dark by myself on city streets, and I wear reflective gear. Make sure you get refelective gear!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI don't run when its dark out. I will if its just getting dark, but only on well lit and busy streets. It just isn't worth the risk to me. Even though I run with my (very large) dog, you still hear about people getting hurt. I know chances are slim but like I said it just isn't worth it. I also run with low quality headphones when I run outside. Its unsafe to have noise cancelling ear buds in...you can't hear potential threats (like people or even cars/traffic )
ReplyDeleteI agree with everythin you said! So many times, I'd love to go run and see the lights at night...but mom would hunt me down and kill me if she found out. And you're right, just not worth the risk. I need some running friends!
DeleteYou mean you're not a Raptors fan?! :-) Sounds like it will be an awesome game and a fun time with your dad. Happy b-day, I wish I were still in my twenties, heck I'd even take my thirties again!
ReplyDeletehaha I do ALWAYS want any canadian/toronto team to do well..but my hearts with the lakers!!
DeleteI think as far as running in the dark, there are 3 non-negotiables-
ReplyDelete1. Wear reflective gear
2. No music
3. Wear a head lamp
Also, I would strongly reccommend running with a buddy or carrying some method of self defense-- pepper spray or a tazer, or a firearm if you are an accomplished shooter. :)
I don't run past dark alone either. It's just not worth it. why risk?
ReplyDeleteI am not passionate about any sports teams. weird, I know :)
check out those pix...u look so hardcore! :) if it's dark out i only run where there are streets with loads of lights. it freaks me out plus i kno myself and would prolly end up tripping!
ReplyDeleteI've been running outside lately, sometimes in the dark, sometimes not. WOW I almost forgot how cold it is here...
ReplyDeleteMy birthday is Feb 15!! Holllaaa fellow Aquarius. I am scared to run in the dark too..no way for me. I'd rather use my treadmill that go outside alone in the dark. Too sketchy for me! Awesome about the Lakers game!
ReplyDeletewoohhoo, we're racking up some february birthdays here!! :D
DeleteI'm not a huge sports follower -- I used to like to run outdoors when I lived in smalltown, Minnesota. But I don't feel comfortable running after dark in Denver.
ReplyDeleteI have to run later at night 7-8ish because that's when I get home from work. During December I did Christmas lights runs around my neighborhood. It was so much fun! and I think the lights distracted me so I ran further! haha
ReplyDeletehey love! What's your email address?? or could you please email me at atorontorunner@gmail.com! Just say hi and I'll reply with something! haha!
DeleteI hear you on that "running outside when is dark" thing. I am not a fan of that either. Even living in a "safe" neighborhood is just odd to be the only one out there in the dark. I see how convenient it can be to have some working out machines at home. I am happy to see you are putting the one you bought to good use!! I would consider getting a treadmill but I think my downstairs neighbor would probably kill me lol
ReplyDeleteNo outdoor running for me but my husband and I will walk a lot at night in the summer. We live in a quiet neighborhood. I don't think that I would walk by myself though. I don't even like running outside in daylight on quiet roads (don't know why I would think someone would want me but better safe than sorry!).
ReplyDeleteAnd it is a big fat NO to sports. I have no desire to follow any sporting event ever. All of my immediate family loves various sports but I never got into that. Neither does my husband. The only exception to that rule is the Olympics. I can't tear myself away!
Have a great time at the game with your dad!!
I did not leave the house for the full time the olympics were on!! Oh my goodness, time of my life infront of that TV!
DeleteI love taking walks with people at all times of day..but never on my own at night either!
No way girl are you allowed to run in the dark on your own! I ban you ;)Mind you is pepper spray legal over there? I would feel much more confident about running in dark if I could carry something to protect myself!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI think you said exactly what my mom would have said if she ever knew I was even THINKING about running any time after 5pm!! I won't risk it :)
DeleteI don't really like running at night either outside, mostly because it is just so dark in my neighborhood! Nothing wrong with sticking the treadmill if you're not feeling safe out there at night.
ReplyDeleteMy birthday (Feb 18) is coming up soon too! I am an Aquarius too. But I am turning the big 32, I wish it was 25 lol
ReplyDeleteI do night running in the summer but not in the winter, dark & cold don't work for me! lol
