each to their own

due to unexpected circumstances yesterday i did my run in the evening instead of morning. it is bizarre how different it feels; not in a bad way, just very peculiar. the whole setting is different, there are more people, more traffic, more everything. even the darkness is different, it has more tones and totally another feel to it.

but i have to say, i would imagine that if i ran regularly in the evenings i probably would run less; it would appear that it might be more likely to reason yourself out of it every now and then. i guess it could become a habit like running in the morning, but for me it seems that there are too much variables involved -- for example, stressful situation at the office that extends the work day; or the headache you get as a result of that; or a lunch that doesn't sit well with you. even a nasty weather would probably be more likely to deter me than it is in the morning hours. so kudos to everyone who runs in the evenings; i probably couldn't do it.

so even if i had a nice run yesterday, and even if change is more often than not good, i definitely won't be making a habit out of running in the evenings. i am too lazy a person for that, and why should i, really; starting the day with a run really is the best way for me to get it going.

I could say the exact opposite - Kudos for being able to run in the mornings.

Change in routine would be refreshing though. I think need to try a morning run in the city again. After all it has been 8 months since my last early morning run in Helsinki. :)

I agree - change in routines is sometimes welcomed - if for nothing else, at least to notice how good the routine in the end is :)
