for daylight savings time to go into effect this weekend?!?
I will finally be able to run outside after work as the daylight lasts longer and CAN NOT wait.

Yes! So excited!0

It's about dang time!!!0
-
YES! Can't wait to be able to run and ride in the evenings without headlamps or helmet lights!0

I do most of my running at 6AM so this is not the good news for me it is for all of you.0
-
Yay for no more dark ages!!!!0

No, no, no, no! A thousand times no. Daylight Savings Time should be abolished. There is no good reason for it!0

But, but, but it saves daylight!
Don't you have any compassion?
Don't you realize that if we don't save some daylight every day, we don't get any more daylight 'til the next day?
Carson, please, come to your senses!

Nope. Morning runner. I am constantly in the dark.0

Ah, that's true. I have recently switched to doing some morning runs (on the treadmill) so I didn't think about that. But eventually the daylight will get long enough that even 530am runs should be light enough.
To all of you wearing headlamps and such- that's great! I never even considered something like that.0 -

Oh man, I am so with you on this one, Carson! I love how they keep moving it around to placate business interests, which is why it was created in the first place!0 -
Personally, I am excited about the prospect of being able to do my pre-dawn runs again! Come on spring!0
-
Oh, and I am also excited about the prospect of getting to run on the local track again!!0

I decided that it was BS when my kids were little and I was trying to put them to bed at 8 and it was dark until after 9. It's totally unecessary.0
-
No. As a morning runner, it's a pain. I like to start my runs 20 minutes before dawn.
This morning, as an aside, dawn coincided with low tide. A spectacular beach run!0 -

I gotta agree with you there! Children awake and happy at dawn is not fun. I am just happy the sun won't be setting at the end of my runs though.0 -
Yes yes yes! I am so excited to run when it isn't dark when I get home from work! And that means less treadmill too!0
-
Sigh. For some of us who like to run early morning before the work day begins, it means staying in the gym on the boring treadmill another few weeks. But within another month of so, there will be plenty of light before and after work for a lot of us.0

Daylight Savings Time: Not. A. Fan.0
-
Not a fan - 5 am runs just get darker and the heart rate stays higher because there are more night critters out still trying to get their last snack in before sunrise.0
-
Dreading daylight savings! I am sleep training my 4 y.o. currently. This daylight savings business is just going to slow our progress! I bet she'll be back to climbing out of bed every hour instead of every 3 hours as she gets used to it!
And I run at lunch. It's always daylight then.0 -

Screw that! Just because it's dark, doesn't mean you can't run outside. Get a headlamp and a reflective vest.

I hate daylight savings time but it's got nothing to do with running. The position of the sun in the sky doesn't affect whether or not I run.
I just think it's stupid and don't like it.0 -
This!!! All my life i've been anti daylight savings.................and last year i finally moved to Arizona where we simply don't do it
No, no, no, no! A thousand times no. Daylight Savings Time should be abolished. There is no good reason for it!0 -
Hmm well move to AZ we have great trail runs and no daylight savings all you haters of Daylight savings haha0
-
I love the fact that DST starts! My running group can use the Greenway again, without the rent-a-cops being doushes and kicking us off.0
-
Generally a morning runner, so really does nothing for me. But I run outside whether dark or light, just love being outdoors!0
-
Not a pro or con for DST. Running outside at 4 a.m. it is dark all year round!0
