My commute is around 2km. I'm usually home by 4.30pm :P
I train everyday. Usually for only 60 - 90 mins. For the most part I fit it in as soon as the kids fall asleep. But the real key is making training fit into my life, and not the reverse. If we visit the in-laws, the family drives, and I run out. Its a nice 12km half of which is on a mountain trail. If we visit the in-laws summer house, I ride the fixed out, its a nice 55km of coastal roads. I hate using the car. Seems madness to cover distance and not train at the same time. What a crazy waste.
The funny thing is. I focus so hard on getting these sessions in. I build them up to be these amazing highlights of my day. Then I find myself lying under a 100kg barbell, or running up a load of steps, thinking 'actually this is a bit shit, what the feck was I excited about'. I'll never learn.
