I try to run 4-5 days a week, and sign up for at least 2-3 marathons/half marathons a year to stay motivated. I too have a horrible commute, but that can be changed by moving (in the process of). I end up running from 4:30 to 5:30, and afterwards will tend to go to the gym to focus on non cardio things.
I will say I reserve my long 8+ mile runs for the weekends as there isn't enough sunlight to do that on the work week. Having a Garmin was the best life decision I have ever made as it comes to running, because I have these challenges with friends and it is a fun way to stay motivated and competitive for our monthly goals.
You could read “what I talk about when I talk about running” by Haruki Murakami. You might enjoy his thoughts on running.
Do you sometimes solve problems as a result of those runs? Bursts of inspiration that strike you out of nowhere?

I added this to my cart, thanks for the recommendation :)
It is a really nice way for me to be alone with my thoughts, almost meditative at certain times. With the very long runs I catch up on certain podcasts i have been putting off (that I really want to get into).
I get very inspired on these runs, especially in scottsdale there are so many runners on the trails here it is nice to see so many people active, investing in their health & fitness..
