Thursday is earliest sunset of the season for most of the
northern latitudes. For the most part sunset times barely
change the first two weeks of December. I look forward
to the growing light, noticeable by Jan because I'm a late
afternoon runner. Still have to put up with another five
months of snow and ice where I live.
Early Jan is the latest sunrise for northern latitudes
for you pre-breakfast types.

i'm in idaho, and spend my lunch breaks doing my runs. I have found
that its warmer at lunch than in the early morning or late afternoon,
granted I have less time for a workout. But I avoid frozen body parts
most of the time.

I'm in US southwest. The lowest I'll see is about 25F. Still that's a
bit too cold for me.
I run at night after kids go to bed. After the run I can just take a
shower and go to sleep. Don't have to keep up with two high energy
toddlers. I used to run in the mornings but by the time I come back
from work I'm exhausted. I switched to night and it's been a whole lot
better.

Hmmmm where I live (55 north) we still have ~ 10 deg. cel at daytime and 7-8
at night..... Long live the low pressures in the North Sea pumping up the
hot air from Spain/Africa....... The snow/winter will come for 2-3 months
max so I don't complaint. I just love my gulf stream.....

p.s I too long for the longer days, just came home from a 45 min jog at 4 pm
and it was allready getting "dark" .........

I'm a pre-dawn type of runner. I go out at 5:15am three weekday
mornings and a bit later on the weekends. I love it, because afterwards
I'm all done for the day and it really gets me going. I don't mind the
darkness because my area is well lit and no one else (except the
garbagemen) are up that time of morning.

i know it's weird, but i like running in the dark. maybe it's because i
don't have to worry about covering my entire body with gloppy sunblock
before i leave the house. i am not anti-wrinkle enough to worry about
moonlight, yet...

Psst - that's what the two prerun cups of coffee are for!
Another hint: just take the following day off altogether, any time you
stuff yourself with gloriously greasy and spicy authentic Sichuan food.

Hey, I just saw "an inconvenient truth" last night. Did you know that
the ozone hole is fixed?
Me, I like running in the dark too, but it's because I run in the
morning, and if my bowels are slow, about once a week I get the urge to
take a dump about half an hour into my run. And rather than fight it,
I carry a ziplock bag with a few folded paper towels.

paper towels?? toilet paper won't do? those must be some dumps. i am not
going to ask if you carry along your baggie for the rest of your run, or
if you have planned your route to pass convenient trash cans. i see
joggers in the morning on my way to work at 5:30am and i'm going to
imagine that they are all carrying along tidy bags of poo, now. i hope
you are happy!

Yeah, paper towels...so I can get away with carrying as little as
possible and still avoid stinky finger, a common consequence of
breakthrough.
As a matter of fact, I do run in an area highly populated with
dogwalkers and public trash cans. Frederick Law Olmstead deserved the
Nobel peace prize for Central Park alone. I think Al Gore has given up
on politics in favor of hunting the prize.
It isn't regularity that I have a problem with. It is sheer volume.
Charlie, I take in about 24 oz of strong, black coffee every morning
before my dump at home. I always have a decent dump before leaving the
house between 5:15-5:45. Just a matter of how much I ate the day
before...

ok stinkyfinger, i understand now. i use leaves when i crap outside,
although i try to avoid doing that in urban areas. if i knew it would be
a weekly thing i would carry a wad of bounty (the quicker picker upper) too.
it did dawn on me once when i *had* to go and i was at least 5 miles
from any public restroom or even a thicket how dependent we are on
automobiles now. i had no idea how to solve my problem and just had to
run along for an hour holding it in with my face all screwed up. either
that or crap on someone's 5 million dollar lawn in plain daylight.

frederick. it's no central park, but i drive down this blvd every day
i'm at work-
http://www.v4.historylink.org/db_images/DCP01186.JPG
one way on each side, and the left lanes are for bicycles only and they
are just as wide as the car lanes :) the middle grassy divide is a route
for packs of runners coming from the university of washington, etc, on
their way to green lake park.

Same here. Off work at 3:00 PM, running by 4:00 PM. Sunset at 5:30 PM. With
my mid-week long runs in the 11-14 mile range, that means I'm in the dark
with falling temps by the time I finish (I'm slow).
