Yesterday evening was interval training on the treadmill.  In case you were wondering, I am trying to get back in the habit of running in the evenings at least a few times per week because I want to get a little more sleep these days.  I am not sure if running in the morning is better than the evening and vice-versa.  Either timeframe has its pros and cons:
| Morning Run | Evening Run | 
| Pros: Much cooler temperature means I can run faster without concern of overheating.When I'm done, I feel a huge sense of accomplishment.  No more runs for the rest of the day.No need for caffeine to wake me up!
 | Pros: More energy in the evening means my body is not stressed as much as the morning run.After taking a shower, I feel refreshed and relieved that I can sleep an extra hour.My body has more time to heal before I go to work.
 | 
| Cons: It takes 20-30 minutes for me to wake up at 4:50am and get myself ready to run.In the Fall and Spring it is dark when I run which is dangerous.  Running in the winter is out of the question.My body needs to heal while I am on my way to work and/or at work.  
 | Cons: Since the evening runs are on a treadmill, my heart rate is higher and pace is slower.I have to manage my time extremely well to allow an hour in the evenings for a run.  And, I can not run on Tuesday and Friday evenings due to personal commitments.
