I have three kids too and I've found that morning runs work best, while everyone is sleeping. When I use to try to run at night, something always came up, a school project, a ballgame, homework, etc.... Lucky for me, my kids are teenagers now and they sleep really, really late.

Usually I fall asleep on the sofa, but I try to stay awake more to make her happy ... I would like to sleep 8 hours at least once a week !!!! agreed 100% … the only problem is that my wife complains that WE do not spend time together in the evening, watching TV or chatting, after the kids are in bed.

I dont' have a family, but a friend wants me to join her at a 5am master's swim class. The thought of getting up that early is daunting, but I'll give it a go.

Even though it is just the two of us right now, we have already started discussing how to fit the running in around having the children because it <em>is</em> an important part of our lives.
