Fitting it all in

I have been employed for almost a week now.  I can prepare lunches and outfits the night before.  I can get up two hours before my kids so we have a decent time getting out the door.  I can plan meals and have something ready or quick to cook.  I can carve out time with my friends.  I can figure out when I am going to read, to garden, to run errands.

What I cannot, for the life of me, figure out is when I will run.  I love to run.  But not only one night a week and every other weekend which is when my children are with dad.  Maybe a gym at lunch?  Maybe get a treadmill?  I do not know.  But I know I have to figure it out, because I am dependent more than ever on the endorphins, stamina and energy running gives me.
