A LOVELY NIGHT FOR A RUN Should You Go for a Run After Dark?
Have you ever been driving home after dark and seen someone jogging on the side of the road? You might have thought they were crazy for waiting until so late in the day to go for a run, but there is actually research that suggests running in the evening is better than going for a run at any
of North Texas found that your body is better prepared to exercise in the evenings, since your muscles have been warming up all day. With improved muscular function and strength, you can push yourself harder and see greater improvement. You sleep better.
other time of day. Here are a few reasons why you should save your run until you can join all the things that go bump in the night. You can hit the snooze button. Many people who run first thing in the morning find themselves pressed for time. Hitting the snooze button is not an option, and with so little time, breakfast is usually a banana on the way out the door. Moving your run to the evening means you can enjoy a more leisurely morning. Not feeling stressed out first thing in the morning can also lead to a more relaxed day. You can push yourself harder.
You will obviously feel tired after a good run, so why not time it right and use this to your advantage? Research from the University of South Carolina found that people who ran before bedtime enjoyed a better night of sleep and increased energy levels when they woke up, meaning they felt more awake and better rested throughout the following day.
The best time to run is honestly whenever you have time to run, but if it works with
your schedule, nighttime running might provide your best workout ever. Just remember that if you do decide to save your run for after sunset, you should stay safe by wearing bright, reflective clothing, sticking to the left side of the road, and running only in well-lit, populated areas.

Did You Know? In Pennsylvania, the two most common chemical tests are blood draws and Breathalyzers. If you’re arrested for drunk driving in Pennsylvania, you should not refuse either test. Even if you are found not guilty of the underlying drunk driving offense under Section 3802(a) (1), your refusal will enable PennDOT to suspend your driver’s license. How Does a Refusal Affect Ignition Interlock Eligibility? A first-time offender of refusing a DUI test is not immediately eligible for Pennsylvania’s new Interlock License. Usually, a person who refuses a Breathalyzer would face a mandatory minimum 12-month license suspension. However, the new ignition interlock law allows a person to be eligible for the program after serving six months on suspension. Repeated DUI refusal offenders face an 18-month license suspension, but are eligible for the ignition interlock license after 9-months. Ignition Interlock Violations Keep in mind that if you’re admitted to the Ignition Interlock Program, any violations in the program could result in a mandatory fine with a minimum of $300 and a maximum of $1,000, plus a possible 90-day jail sentence. The court will also extend the period the device is in your car for one year, which you must maintain. The bottom line is that if local or state police ask you to submit to a blood or Breathalyzer test, you do it. Refusing either will not help your criminal case and will only make it worse.
