Question, how do you go out for runs that long at night and not have your wife threatening to kill you? Maybe I just haven't been married long enough for my wife not to want me around. For some reason she still wants to hang out all the time. Ha.

Jun, its an issue sometomes, and its a good question. I think its something we all deal with to an extent, trying to find time and energy to dedicate to all things we love. For the most part I try to start early this time of year. Like this run, which was long for a mid week run, I started a little after 4 and was home by 6:30,. Or, if it's later or my my wife has something to do, I run on the 'mill at home. In the summer, I try to start late. After dinner and some time with the fam, I'll head out when everyone is winding down. Most of my runs start from my door or two minutes from my door and I run alone, so no time wasted driving or socializing. It's not always the case, sometimes I'm out durning prime home time, too much of that and its an issue. I figure running for an hour or so is better than watching tv, or some other time waster, which is what alot of people do in the evening, but somehow those things get passed off as family time?

Oh my gosh, its so funny you say that. One of the big issues I have with my wife is that to her, being together means sitting next to each other on the couch watching TV or a movie and not just being in the home together cleaning or playing with the kids. Now, fortunately, we don't ever really get to watch tv until about 10pm, but still. It's just funny to me because we'll have spent the last 4 hours running errands together, cooking and eating dinner, and getting the kids ready for bed and then she'll complain that she hasn't seen me all day. It took me a couple of years to interpret that to mean "I want to be alone together doing nothing". Ha. My kids are also very young, so that adds even more time into the mix. I'm sure when they are old enough to put themselves to bed that will change our evening dynamic.

That is why 90% of my workouts are either at night after the kids are in bed or early in the AM before anyone is awake. Luckily my wife understands my obsession, so she is ok with me getting out, especially if I make an effort to do it during 'off' hours.
It took me at least 10 years to figure out the best way to play it at my house.
