Jogging at night? In the rain?

It is dedication.I can see if the only time they have to run is at night that they Would do it rain or shine. But me? I wouldn't even start running at night! Way too dangerous.

When I used to run, it would be at night. Not at 11:30 PM at night of course - but just late enough (8-9 or maybe even 10) for it to cool down (in the summer, otherwise running in 100 degrees of humid air is NOT fun and not something I suggest trying!!), and I also like it because there are less people out around that time, but enough so that you're not all alone (just in case something were to happen). Maybe this particular jogger has a weird work schedule (2nd shift, 3rd shift, I don't know). But I find two things strange about this. Who jogs on a highway? I'm guessing not a freeway type highway, as that WOULD be insane. But I would never walk or run on a highway (unless my car broke down on it). And myabe it started raining 1/2way through his jog, so there was nothing more to do about it. LOL. How is THAT for overanalyzing? (It was kind of fun LOL). Running is a GREAT workout and is GREAT for you! So good luck!

Nope, I wouldn't go jogging. I don't care for it. I'd rather work out in other ways. I don't recall ever seeing anyone jog in the rain at night, but I did see someone jogging at night before. Personally, I thought they were crazy! Even more so as they were towards the middle of the road. I almost didn't see them at all, but luckily I saw something bouncing up and down (it turned out to be their shoes). Good thing too, otherwise I might have hit them with my vehicle! Jogging at night (rain or no rain) just isn't wise. Not when there are so many dangers on the roads, like cars going by. Though if they want to do it, that's their choice, I guess. However, they may not live that long...at least not on the roads where I'm at as it's like a highway here. Happy mylotting!

Hi. bounce58. No. I could never jog at night, especially in the rain. This is too risky. The ground is wet, the sky is very dark. It could be hard for someone to see me if I happened to get in the way. Jogging at night can be very dangerous because one may never know whom is out at this time of night. I would rather to just jog inside of my home on my treadmill, even if it is midnight. I think that jogging at night is just a level of insanity.

One of my goals is to train to do a triathalon and because of that I know that I am going to have to first learn how to jog and then to learn how to do it regardless of the weather. So, I do think that I would jog in the rain, but I wouldn't do it in the rain in the dark. I can, however, see myself jogging in the dusk or slight dark because of the fact that it tends to be cooler at that time of the day.

Yes, that is serious dedication!! I have a friend who will do the same - but biking - and he will go when he has the time - even if it is raining. The guy internalizes everything and going out for a long bike ride let's him let off some steam (that's what he says anyway). I used to love running/jogging in the wee hours of the morning at our local college when it was foggy. But I wouldn't do it during midnight (especially being a woman - for safety reasons - unless I was running/jogging with someone - and I like being alone when it comes to working out). And I wouldn't do on the freeway (I live in LA, are you kidding?!). The thing is, I'm not really a runner in the first place, so most likely you wouldn't see me out there in the middle of the night running on the freeway anyway - ever - hee hee!!

i guess if running was that important to me, i would be. some people go running every day, no matter what the weather (we are in canada, so you can imagine that some of the days do not provide the best weather!)

Heck no, I don't do anything in the rain. I hate spots on my glasses. And if it's cold rain, double that!

Uhh...no...not going to be jogging in the middle of the night or in the rain. Now if it is warm outside and it's just raining a little...maybe..but noway I would be at night. I think there are alot of people that take dedication to a different level when it comes to exercise. Like a compulsive level.

I know that jogging can improve our health as long as it is done in normal conditions,but to do it around midnight in the rain doesn't seem a very healthy thing to do it,and to jog on the highway at such a late hour might be dangerous,but if that's what makes that person feel good,it's all right,I suppose it's more exciting to jog at night.Personally I wouldn't do such a thing,because it' safer to spend that hour of the night writing on Mylot rather than chasing ghosts on a highway.

Maybe they work unusual hours, so to them it was half an hour after they'd finished work rather than bedtime? And loads of serious runners would rather run in (light) rain - it keeps them cool. So no, I don't think it's particularly odd. Though I wouldn't do it myself...

maybe he's not really jogging.. he might be running to reached home.. i so love rain.. and i do run and play under the rain when i was a kid.. so sad i haven't experience it this age of mine..
