The clocks changed last weekend and it’s basically dark by 5:30 now, which I didn’t think through at all before starting this run-walk thing on the trail back in September.
By the time I’m done with work and get home there’s no daylight left for it anymore, not even close!
I tried going out before work a couple days this week instead, but the trail isn’t lit and I kept catching my foot on roots I usually see just fine, which doesn’t feel like a great trade when my skin’s already touchy about the cold and chapping this time of year.
There’s a treadmill at the gym near the station (haven’t set foot in the place since maybe last winter) that would probably be safer, if boring. I’ve never liked those things much, the boredom gets to me faster than the cold ever did.
How is everyone else handling the shorter days, especially with skin that doesn’t love the cold? Morning, indoors, or do you just not bother until it’s light again?
