Do you work or have kids?
Where do you find the time for this?
3 kids. Full-time job.
Get up at 5 to work out.
Walk to and from metro, I generally can't manage a lunch break but try to jump out to take a 15ish-minute walk to get coffee at some point during the day, short walk with dogs and alternating kid after dinner whenever possible -- I get to the 10K pretty easily with these choices.
Kudos to you, does your DH keep in shape as well?
not the above poster but why do people find it hard to believe that people can find time to exercise even with busy schedules? I too have kids, a full-time job, and a commute and I find time to exercise. 5-6 hrs/week. If you want something enough and it's important to you make the time.
