run before the sun comes up. especially this time of year. it's a great way to start the day. it's a great way to jump start crossing things of your to do list. I always run in the AM.

Been in Kenya for the last two weeks so, needless to say, I haven't been to the gym in a while. I go in the early moring. Get up at 4:30a.m., spend some time with God, then head to the gym about 5:30. Home about 7:00 to get ready for work. I think I'll use this week to catch up on rest, and start again next week.

I have not been so good with continually exercising but when I do I usually do it mid day at a local park. Although I do enjoy evening bike riding with my kids.

Running? What's that?? I HATE to sweat, so instead I swim at the "Y" on my way home from work a couple of nights a week. I miss the traffic, and by the time I get home, I am relaxed and ready for bed.

I run for Indiana University so I could not resist commenting. In the summer I like "getting it outta the way" in the morning. So then I'm not thinking all day about when I'm gonna make time for my run.

Have to do it in the morning if its going to be a designated exercise time. Fortunately our health club has child care where the kids' gym time is from 9-10am. If I'm doing kids stuff--walking the zoo or to the park with the kids--that's anytime.

Cardio on an empty stomach in the moening burns 300% more fat than the same cardio in the evening. Waiting an hour after you run to eat burns even more. Also helps with sleep. The later you exersice the harder to fall asleep. For these reasons all training for me is in the morning. People are always asking me "How do you stay so in shape?" It works.

Used to run in the evenings until my schedule, and a crazy friend, convinced me to workout in the mornings. Now, even though the friend is gone I still get up around 6 am and head to the gym. There's nothing like getting to work and knowing you've already put in like 2 hours.

evening/afternoon person. wish i could do mornings- and as much as i love them, i've never really been a morning person. plus with summer upon us, it's cooler at night. so lately, yoga at night. usually whenever i have time- might try switching to morning.

I HATE running and working out in the morning. late night 9:30 or 10:00. But I did miss out on that other kind of sweaty workout last night because the wife fell asleep while I was out running. Maybe I'll try running int the mornings again...

I exercise in the evenings after the kids go to bed. I try not to do it too late because I don't like to be "sweaty" at night too . . .unless of course it is for a good reason. :)

Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday I go in the mornings. Wednesday, I go in the evening.

I love working out in the mornings, because I feel great the rest of the day.

Morning as early as I can and on an empty stomach. I love the boost it gives me for the rest of my day.

Good luck!

Evenings after work so usually 5 o'clock until about 6:30 or so. I'm not a morning person at all so I can't do mornings.

Los -
I posted some haikus today dedicated to the folks that run the sound at church. (5,7,5 style of course) As usual, the readers ideas were funnier than mine. Thought you might like these that a reader sent in:

"Did you turn it up?"
I lie and say "I did not"
we make a great team

"This song should not rock"
Well, I rock it anyway
we make a great team

"Your guitar seems loud"
"I haven't even played yet"
Okay, I just lied again

"Sometimes less is more"
Sometimes I flip you the bird
When you turn your back.

"Did you flip me off?"
"no"... why do i lie so much?
We make a great team.

The last time I went running was when I went to Cedar Point in Ohio, and the Raptor had opened up after being shut down for awhile, and I was on the other side of the theme park.

I'd have to say my timing was great!

First thing in the morning before kids get up. During the school year it is after I put them on the bus.

When I exercise its in the evenings. I've been walking/running lately. Round trip its 3.5 miles. I try to go before it gets dark but I went later than normal the other day and got caught in the dark. The road I walk on has a sidewalk but it's not very well lit so it was a little creepy. But I definitely do it in the evenings. I just can't get myself up out of bed.
