On the weekend I run in the mid-morning. On weekdays I run at lunch and often in the evenings also.

It's a daily double, and I do it because I like the high I get.

I don't like early early morning, or late evening. If I run too late in the evening, I don't sleep well cause it hypes me up. jer

whatever time of day works best for you. there isn't one right answer - some people like morning, some like the afternoon, some like evening. too close to bedtime does make it hard to get to sleep, and too much in the middle of the day when it's hot can be risky, but other than that, it's whenever *you* like to go.

I like to run in the early evening, after work and before dinner. It's my favorite time because I can shake off the stress of the day and unlock the muscles and joints a bit and get my breath going again. During the day, there's little time for me and a lot of rushing and demands on my attention (true for most of us, no matter what we do these days!); running and walking - I generally do both - outside in the fresh air, exploring the real world for bit, puts things back into perspective. Then I can go home, have dinner, and do a little more work, but at a more relaxed pace. It's also when things start to cool a bit in the summer, the sun's not as strong, and the air quality tends to be better for those us with environmental allergies or asthma. Another reason I like the evening vs the a.m. - I can go longer if I feel particularly loose or find an interesting route to explore; in the a.m., I have to watch the time *much* more carefully! Can't relax.

My health has made my run or even a walk something I only do sporadically this year, especially this spring. One of the best things about getting my diagnosis and starting the gluten-free diet is the thought that I'll be able to run again regularly!!

ps - One thought, if you don't already do this, think about doing sprints in preparation for soccer in the fall. There may be a local team (road runners or some such) that has coached track workouts in the summer, or you can do them yourself, either on the track or in your longer runs. But it's different muscle fibers and you need to build your anaerobic threshold for soccer. Just my $.02.

(sorry so long!)

It depends your body, on where you live, on your school/work schedules, on significant other schedules etc.

I'm fortunate to have a flexible work schedule. When I lived in Montana, I would run in the early afternoon in the winter after it had warmed up a bit to minimize frostbite. I now live in California and it can be over 110 F in the summer so I run late evening or if I have to early morning. I'm not a morning person and it takes a while for my body to get moving so I try to avoid running in the morning so I have less chances of getting injured.

      Edy's and Dreyer's ice cream

      By Aretaeus Cappadocia · Posted

      Sigh. I posted this yesterday based on the Safeway website. I went back again today to their website to double check. On the page where they are selling Vanilla Bean flavor, it has a distinct Certified Gluten Free label. Other flavors on the Safeway website didn't have the gluten-free statement. Today I went into the store. None of the flavors I looked at, including Vanilla Bean, have a Gluten Free statement. Is it safe? Who knows. The ingredients are either safe or nearly safe (some have "natural flavor"). There are warnings about "contains milk and soy" but not about wheat - this implies they are safe, but again, who knows. On the other hand, every flavor I checked of their Slow Churn line of ice creams has wheat as an ingredient. 100% not safe.

      Do keep in mind that many of the newly diagnosed have lactose intolerance.  This is because the villi lining the intestinal tract are damaged, and can no longer make the enzyme lactAse which breaks down the milk sugar lactOse.  When the villi grow back (six months to two years), they can again produce the enzyme lactAse, and lactose intolerance is resolved.  However, some people (both those with and without Celiac Disease) are genetically programmed to stop producing lactase as they age.   Do be aware that many processed foods, including ice cream, use Microbial Transglutaminase, a food additive commonly called "meat glue," used to enhance texture and flavor.  This microbial transglutaminase has the same immunogenicity as tissue transglutaminase which the body produces in response to gluten in people with Celiac Disease.  Tissue Transglutaminase (tTg IgA) is measured to diagnose Celiac Disease in blood tests.  Microbial Transglutaminase acts the same as Tissue Transglutaminase, causing increased intestinal permeability and inflammation.   New findings show that microbial transglutaminase may be able to trigger Celiac Disease and other autoimmune and neurodegenerative diseases.   Microbial Transglutaminase is not required to be listed on ingredients labels as it's considered a processing aid, not an ingredient in the U.S.  Microbial Transglutaminase has been GRAS for many years, but that GRAS standing is being questioned more and more as the immunogenicity of microbial transglutaminase is being discovered. Interesting Reading:  Microbial Transglutaminase Is a Very Frequently Used Food Additive and Is a Potential Inducer of Autoimmune/Neurodegenerative Diseases https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8537092/

      There is a 10 year old post in this forum on Edy's and Dreyer's ice cream. The information is somewhat outdated and the thread is closed to further comment, so here is a new one. Edy's And Dreyer's Grand Vanilla Bean Ice Cream - 1.5 Quart is labeled "Gluten Free". This is a different answer than years gone by. I don't know the answer for any other flavor at this moment. On 1 May, 2026, Edy's website says: "As a general rule, the gluten in Edy's and Dreyer's® frozen dessert products is present only in the added bakery products, such as cookies, cake or brownies. We always label the eight major food allergens on our package by their common name. We recommend to always check the label for the most current information before purchasing and/or consuming a product. The exception to this rule is our Slow Churned French Silk frozen dairy dessert, which contains gluten in the natural flavors." https://www.icecream.com/us/en/brands/edys-and-dreyers/faq It seems that Edy's and Dreyer's are more celiac-friendly than they were 10 years ago. Once I found enough information to make today's buying decision, I stopped researching.

      probably not your situation @Mimiof2, but allow me to add one more to @trents list of celiac-mimics: "olmesartan-induced sprue-like enteropathy"

      Terrible Neurological Symptoms

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      My dad had an Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm.  Fortunately, it was discovered during an exam.  The doctor could feel my dad's heart beating in his stomach/abdomen.  The aneurysm burst when the doctor first touched it in surgery.  Since he was already hooked up to the bypass machine, my dad survived ten more years.  Close call! Triple A's can press on the nerves in the spinal cord causing leg pain.  I'm wondering if bowing the head might have increased the pressure on an aneurysm and then the nerves.   https://gulfcoastsurgeons.com/understanding-abdominal-aortic-aneurysm-symptoms-and-causes/ Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Presenting as a Claudication https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC4040638/
