Determine what’s most important—what one thing, if done in an excellent manner, would have the single greatest positive impact on your life?1—and do that thing. AND…be flexible and creative with your workouts, never to the exclusion of your family. Build daily exercise into your life. 
A couple years ago, I thought my most important goal was to become (my version of) a world-class runner. Well, at about mile 18 of the 2023 St. George Marathon I realized I was wrong and instead, that pouring my attention and energy into my marriage and my kids was far more important than any race I could win or PR I could achieve.
BUT—I was stubborn. I didn’t want to give up on my marathon goal to qualify for the Boston Marathon so I continued to train and ran the same marathon in 2024 and received the same message.
Happily, I’m making time for and putting energy into my marriage and kids and we are blessed. So blessed.
Does that mean giving up my goal? Maybe. But perhaps later on when Jules and I are empty nesters I’ll have more time for training. Or, perhaps one of them will become interested in long distance running and we’ll train together. Regardless, I do not need to give up my fitness or stop running altogether. For example, I take and bring my son home from a youth church class Monday through Thursday mornings, I run once or twice a week while I wait for him. This different approach is the right thing now for me and my family.
 How have you remained physically active while focusing on what matters most?
