Noon Time: Another 2 mile constitutional. Beautiful out.

I'll have to wait until after Andy's parent-teacher conference at 5:45 to squeeze in a run. My #1 frustration in life is that I can't do morning runs when the sun is up. It's my favorite thing and my job won't let me do it. Better than not having a job though. I guess.

PM: 10 miles @7:45 pace circling the neighborhood. Felt pretty good actually which is rare for a run at 6 pm.

There are probably plenty of exceptions, but most decent-paying benefited somewhat normal jobs require some running in the dark, at least during the shorter months of the year. It's good for the reflective vest industry.

Doesn't your job give you 3 consecutive months of daylight morning runs? :-)

Between the tiredness from a long work day and a stomach full of food, evening runs can be rough. Plus let's not mention summer heat
