Mornings are tough for me...working out...blahh

Ok so 'they' say nighttime is not good to workout but seriously I'm far from a morning person! I try and try and it will last a few day of 10 minute, then 7, and down to 5 mins on the elliptical. I'm determined to find a way to exercise and enjoy it or at least feel good after. I grew up swimming and dancing my weight off, neither works into my life now with kids. I even went as far as to look into a swim spa - love it, want it, but more than I can spend right now on something I just want. 

I hate running but I feel like its my only option. So I found something fun about it - the color run - where I can be a kid and get covered in powder paint! Ok so I gotta run three miles to so it.

Sounds like an easy plan right? Not in my life - in my life how will I leave three kids to run and train? I tried to work with my husband and his schedule to accomplish it - that didn't work. So I did the next best thing - found a used treadmill and made a spot in the house. I can't say I get in it enough - and I never made it to the color run this year - but I have goals - I swear by the run next year I will be ready for three miles!
