Day 1 of Running

        On the first day that you decide to go running, you can choose to go running whenever is most convenient for you, whether that is at the start of your day, during, or just a few hours before you go to bed. It is technically best that you go running first thing in the morning, because it immediately gets your metabolism going, however that can me difficult to do everyday and for many people that is just not an option. In reality, just go running whenever it best fits into your schedule, but the most important thing is that you at least make the attempt to go running that day. There are a few tips though that I can offer to help choose when to run. If you live in a hot climate, it is usually better to go running in the morning or at night when the sun has not yet fully risen because intensive heat will hurt your performance, give you another reason to dislike running, and if you go running when it is too hot you might accidentally hurt yourself. The same could be said about cold climates, so in general take your local weather into concern. On that note, although you can go running in bad weather, such as when it is raining, it is better to find an indoor activity during poor weather because again you are more likely to hurt yourself, or worse, you might get sick. Also, find  a place you enjoy running at including but not limited to; at a park, around your neighborhood, at the gym or wherever you feel comfortable. If you like to alone while running, finding some outdoor path such as at a park, or running around the the border of your neighborhood might improve the experience. However, a word of warning for those who like to go cross-country running, try to stay within reasonable distance of civilization should you get hurt, or you get attacked by a stray animal, its happened to me, and if you insist on going those long distances you should bring your phone. Also, it is not necessary but it is wise to let someone you know when you go running and generally where you intend to be at if you are going to be running far distances from your home.
