Hey superwomen...

Priorities! It is tough to balance everything. I work 40 hours a week (at least) and have a kid and husband that I enjoy spending time with. When I am riding, I generally log at least 100 miles a week, and I follow these handy tips:

We only fold laundry when the piles are so high OSHA would require them to be shored for worker safety.

During the week, I will get up at 5 to do a spin class/stationary trainer workout before the kid gets up at 6:30 to get ready for school. It's rare that I have time to ride outdoors. If I can sneak it in (a court appearance ended early or whatever), then I will. I also volunteer at school, so that may take time that I would be riding, but it's worth it.

On weekends, I ride between 7 am - 1 or 2 pm, leaving the afternoon open for friends, kid soccer, whatever. DH rides also, so we have to alternate our rides, generally. It's not uncommon for me to only be able to ride 1 day of the weekend.

We eat a lot of non-creative dinners (pasta every way imaginable) and I am trying to put the crock pot to better use.

I pretty much only have friends who ride.

I'm usually asleep by 10 pm.
