Is it strange that I like to go for walks late at night?

[Blacklonewolf]

I almost always have a daily walk somewhere between 10pm-1am everyday. I like going at night because it's colder and there's not many people out. Is this strange?

I always have my dog with me as well.

[thunthunthun]

I use to do that but my mom begged me not to because she was scared. Plus, there had been a lot of female kidnappings around the time. It isn't strange but it probably isn't best by yourself. Just be safe and cautious. Check out your surroundings. Get mace or a stun gun if you can. Make sure you have a fully charged phone. Ya never know what can happen... Overall, be careful!

[Blacklonewolf]

I always have my dog and my phone. I have to
Watch ffor animals more than I do for people.

[thunthunthun]

What kind of dog do you have?

[Blacklonewolf]

I have a wolf and collie mix

[heavenonearth]

I used to jog at around 9-10, but my mom didn't like it so I started going earlier. Especially since I live on my own now, she worries. When I visit home I'll take walks with my dad at night though. He enjoys late night walks too.

[Blacklonewolf]

Oh my mom is ok with it as long as my dog's with me. If I had someone to go with I would but everyone's usually asleep.

[heavenonearth]

That's cool. Wish I had a dog! :)

[Blacklonewolf]

Yep and you could always get a dog.

[heavenonearth]

Apartment won't allow it haha, but I'd love to one day.

[Blacklonewolf]

Oh that's true. I probably would of moved out by now but I wouldn't be able to leave my animals behind.

[heavenonearth]

Yeah, they become like family.

[Blacklonewolf]

Yep I'm extremely close to my pets.

[DanAG]

10pm-1am is early for me. I usually go more like 1am - 4am.

Nothing strange about it. It's peaceful at night like that. Plus I'm such a night owl that 3am doesn't even seem late to me. The only thing I worry about is another nocturnal creature around here - skunks - I don't wanna get sprayed by accidentally surprising them.

[Blacklonewolf]

I usually fall asleep somewhere between 2-4 am. And I really like walking at night.

[Phoenix98]

Not at all I walk at night all the time for miles sometimes. It's relaxing I always take a cigar or my tobacco pipe just becuase I love smoking them. A knife for protection and my phone for music and to write stuff down I have created some beautiful poetry whir taking my walks.

[Blacklonewolf]

I always have my phone and my dog. It's just so peaceful at night.

[Phoenix98]

Yup it sure is especially here in Kansas lots of full moons and fire flies and wheat/sun flower fields.

[Blacklonewolf]

Oh I'm in a nice small city in new Mexico. If the forest were a few miles closer I would go there but That's a good 8-12 miles away.

[Phoenix98]

Cool.

[hswhis]

Yes and no. I'm a night owl myself, but going out so late may be dangerous. You never know who is watching and seeing that you have a habit of going for walks late at night decide to do something.

I really wouldn't.

[Blacklonewolf]

Oh I'm a night owl too and I always have my dog.

[hswhis]

Even with your dog. They can easily take out your dog and then go after you.

I would just worry because we live in such crazy times. Too many nutjobs out there.

[Blacklonewolf]

that's true but it's the only way I've found that helps me relax enough to sleep and unstress

[hswhis]

Treadmill at home?

[Blacklonewolf]

I don't have one and I walk to get away from everything for a while. And I find it relaxing to be outside at night. More or less my night and day are backwards.

[BEatenyou]

I love going on night walks as well, especially on a new moon or a full moon. With my dog as well, where I live its brutally hot in the day. So night walks are a must! Plus most people dont do that, its fun and dangerous.

[Execu]

I kinda enjoy it but would prefer to drive, when I wear a hoodie no one even looks at me as they pass lol.

[Blacklonewolf]

Nice lol. Most people don't seem to notice I'm there until my dog growls. Or if it's still the day they might say hi.

[Execu]

Dogs a good idea, unless it's like a foot long one haha.

[Blacklonewolf]

It's a good sized dog. Weird breed though half wolf half collie.

[Execu]

Sounds cool, almost a wolf then, should scare people off XD

[Blacklonewolf]

Yep most people but he doesn't look like one just acts like one.

[Execu]

Haha thats all ya need

[musicbrain5]

I don't think it's strange. I would never do it, though. Too many creeps lurking around this city at night. Maybe if I was with my SO, but even then it's still risky.

[just_tired]

My favorite time for a walk, I do it all the time. Like others said it could be dangerous though depending on where you live.

[Blacklonewolf]

I live in a smaller city. And I always have my dog with me.

[just_tired]

Alrighty then, sounds good then :)

[snowboarder720]

As long as you know that neighborhood really well, there isn't anything wrong with that. Night time makes me think a lot.

[Blacklonewolf]

I know my neighborhood really well. And I think a lot at night as well.

[justbanANNAz]

nah, just a tad dangerous tho hehe, I'm hoping u hav a big dog who is protective :P

[Blacklonewolf]

I have a medium sized dog who is extremely protective of me. he's a weird breed half wolf half collie.

[justbanANNAz]

nice!=] you'll b find if he's got some wolf blood in him then:)

[Blacklonewolf]

Yep :)

[wölfin-fräulein]

That's normal, I'm up all the nights and sometimes go out too. It's not strange night has a different beauty, just be careful.

[sammy_31]

Nope, I used to do this but sometimes it gets a little scary at night.

[Blacklonewolf]

It doesn't bother me to bad. I just wish there was less animals.

[sammy_31]

I really wouldn't go alone it would be with my siblings or best friends and chat for while.

[Blacklonewolf]

I would go with somebody but I have one sibling who no longer lives with me and a few friends but one live slightly out of town and the other has to sleep more than I do.

[sammy_31]

Oh okay I see.

[Blacklonewolf]

Yep. I almost never get a good night's sleep.

[CommieDearest]

No, when I lived in the burbs I walked my dog every night around 11ish.

[Anonymous]

Nope, it's fine. I'd prefer that too since there isn't a lot of people out and its cooler in temperature. Just always be safe of your surroundings.

[Blacklonewolf]

Yep it's nice and quite at night unlike the day and I have to watch everything around me because of wild animals that are coming to the city I live in.

[Opinion Owner]

Yeah I always have to watch out for bears.. even in my yard, we have wild bears that will come around here and there.. pretty scary lmao

[Blacklonewolf]

We don't get bears to often just skunks, foxes, deer, and raccoons.

[TrinidadMoe]

No way! me too!! can i walk with you? I havee no companion or dog to walk with :(

[Blacklonewolf]

If we live close ya I would love to walk with other people but usually everyone I know is already asleep.

[TrinidadMoe]

Awee lol thanks luv! :D haha thats true

[Blacklonewolf]

Welcome :) lol

[Rudmiley]

Night time is the best time to think while you walking but be careful

[Blacklonewolf]

I always am.

[Rudmiley]

Great to know

[zombiebabe]

i like to walk at night on the beach with my family at night too... nope it ain't weird

[GoldCobra]

If I was your friend, I would go with you. I think that is a great idea. Going out for walks is so healthy for you. I find it to be a stress reliever.

[Blacklonewolf]

Thanks. And its the only positive stress reliever I've found.

[Anonymous]

I'm a night owl too but don't walk around at night. so I don't think it's strange but it is dangerous for a woman to be out alone late at night. hope you have a gun with you or something.

[Blacklonewolf]

I always have my dog. And I'm a night owl too.

[Opinion Owner]

I don't think a dog and a phone will do much good against a guy with a gun. I'm just sayin.

[Blacklonewolf]

that's true. I guess.

[Anonymous]

Probably no stranger than me going out for late night drives. I love driving, and wish I could just do it all day/night

[Blacklonewolf]

I probably would do the same thing if I had a car

[Opinion Owner]

I have a very old car. 22 years old... got it for a steal at $1500. My dad paid half while I paid the other half. $80 to fill her up but.. I don't really fill her up because I'm not working right now. I only put in a little bit at a time

[Blacklonewolf]

That a really good deal. I don't really need a car to get around town just to get out of town every once in a while.

[xKingxjamesx]

It's good. Just make sure you have something to protect you with you

[Blacklonewolf]

I always have my dog.

[Anonymous]

Its not strange but depending on where you are could be dangerous

[Klaatu51]

no it's not just be careful ;-)

[BlueSJ]

No, I do that sometimes. Today, I did that too because the sky is clear, and so, the stars can be seen very well. They are so fascinating. Just looking at them makes me feel like I am in totally different world. Also, there are cool breezes at night and the surroundings are so quiet. Just be sure you are in a safe area. ^-^

[BlueSJ]

Oh, I meant to put that as an answer.. sorrrrrrryyyy!!! >_<"

[Blacklonewolf]

@ blueSJ its OK.
@klaatu51 I always am.

[Klaatu51]

well if you have your dog then probably he'll alert you if you are in danger

[Blacklonewolf]

He always does it usually just a animal of some kind.
