I think part of my issue is that I procrastinate, so then it just always ends up being Sunday!<br /><br />I LOVE a cat sprawled on its back.

I miss my Sunday runs, but it is nice to have supported long runs.Suzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11502064517617297450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4242345102337084083.post-79853914780103897782011-08-24T08:27:23.679-04:002011-08-24T08:27:23.679-04:00Saturday, all the way!

I don't mind getting up early, and like you said, Friday nights are just not a great time for socializing because I'm usually tired. <br /><br />Also - she is ADORABLE! And fat.

I'm lucky though - I don't start work until 2.30 (have to leave the house at about 1.30 to get there), which gives from when I drop the kids off at 9.00 until 1ish to fit it in :) Total upside is that the Saturday which is sports craziness here with the kids, is my total rest day so I can just focus on the kids and family stuff.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4242345102337084083.post-49611863008169886602011-08-23T18:13:00.324-04:002011-08-23T18:13:00.324-04:00Aww, whose cat is that?

We do our runs on Sat mornings. The downside is that I can't do anything exciting on Friday night (not that i would most weeks anyways), and it's tough to get up early for the 6th day in a row each week. But it's relaly nice having all day Saturday and Sunday to relax and not have that long run 'hanging over you'.Lisa from Lisa's Yarnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05335500882510597919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4242345102337084083.post-30817404193948976022011-08-23T17:06:24.894-04:002011-08-23T17:06:24.894-04:00I am such a saturday runner!

I'm usually so tired friday night from the work week, it helps me to take it easy and go to bed early. I agree it's a little hard to get up on sat morning, but it's SO much harder on sunday. So a saturday girl I will always be! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4242345102337084083.post-23436565416081091792011-08-23T13:40:06.126-04:002011-08-23T13:40:06.126-04:00Saturdays!

Personally, I hate them both. As soon as I leave work Friday, my mind automatically goes into "stay up late and then sleep until noon" mode and that just doesn't work when you need to get a run in before the sun comes up.Jess Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05550784978719254483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4242345102337084083.post-35349734446624756052011-08-23T10:58:06.950-04:002011-08-23T10:58:06.950-04:00I'm lucky because my schedule allows me to run...I'm lucky because my schedule allows me to run on Fridays.
