Lots of days I'm up at 4am and out again after school. Weekends and holidays are obviously key points of training. I have no kids, which frees up time outside of work. My girlfriend is super supportive and understanding, so I am never really asked to sacrifice a workout. In fact, lots of my really good cross training workouts are with her. I guess, right now, my interests keep me motivated enough to run a lot. My family, friends, and girlfriend are really supportive. <br /><br />The hardest thing for me is to force down time. I can usually block off plenty of training time, but really need to focus on saying "NO" when I need some rest.

I am a hs math teacher in IL and am curious how you manage your training? Any advice?
