You might think, 'I don't have time to run,' or 'Running is not the most important thing I need to do today.' But you have a choice about how to spend your time. Ask yourself what is the most important thing you need to do today. What is it that you are making time for? How important is your health to you? Keep in mind that of the most effective exercise options, running requires the least amount of time.

Finding the time to run can oftentimes be the biggest challenge... Research studies indicate that those who exercise early in the morning are more consistent and stick with their programs as compared to people who work out later in the day. Morning is the time when you probably are most rested both physically and mentally. The later in the day you wait to run, the likelihood that unexpected personal or professional obligations will arise, sabotaging your best-laid plans. You may also find that your motivation drops to its lowest level after a stressful or physically demanding workday.
