I used to be an athlete. In high school, I was on the track team. In college, I was a varsity rower. But then life happened. I graduated from college in 1998, got my first real job and started slacking in the exercise department. Add two kids and a few extra pounds and I was unhappy. In November 2006 I started running again as a way to shed some weight and get some much-needed "me time". And now I am back in school to pursue a career in nursing. Here's my journey.

commitment!!
Great job. To answer your question, I get home from work around 5:30 and from then until around 8pm I spend time with the wife and daughter. My workouts get done either before work in the morning or after 8pm at night. I do spend some daylight running hours on the weekends sometimes but most of my mileage is done in darkness. I will not sacrifice my time with my family. Just the way it works for me right now. I am looking forward to the longer days though. Keep up the good work.
Great job!!!
