Whether you’re a dad, mom, full-time student, business owner, or 9-5er, finding time to run and take care of your health can be tricky. It’s true – life can be demanding, soaking up every last waking second we have in the day. And with a hectic schedule, it’s easy to put running at the bottom of our to-do lists. But today I want to give you some tips to help you find balance between work, school, family, and health. Not only will making time to run ensure that you stay on track with your health goals, but will also improve your focus and attitude towards the day ahead.
1. Put Running First – Seriously. Start each day with a run. I know, some of you won’t like this suggestion. But starting your day with a regular exercise routine can improve the quality of your entire day. You’ve always heard that you should get off on the right foot, setting yourself up for success. Get to bed early, set your alarm, and get a running start on your day! It’s not that hard finding time to run.
Great tips! And I was loving the idioms too! Thank you for including me! That made my day!
If you get enough other people pissed off at you because you haven't been able to run in a while, then it will also become a priority for them to make you go run. My family hates it when I don't get my stress relieving miles in. Every day the kids bedtimes get a little earlier.
Of course! You were the first person I thought about when I sat down to write this post. If anyone knows about making time to run, it's you. You don't let anything stop you. I admire that.
So true, John. My friends and family know when I haven't had a run in a while. It's funny what a few miles can do for us.
Great tips! I am one of the "crazies" who gets my exercise in first thing in the morning. The alarm goes off at 515am and I'm spinning or running by 545am! Sometimes when it's nice out, I will go for a 15 minute walk during my lunch break at work, but I've never gone for a run. I am most motivated by having a race on the calendar. Probably why I race all year long! Running, or exercise in general is definitely a priority for me. Like John said, my family will tell me to go run, they can tell that I need it!
