Finding it within me

How do I find the time I need to get my run in and do everything I need to do in the day?  For some morning time is the best for others like me I find running at night usually in the gym is what I can do or during the day when I can use childcare.  I am just not that morning person now on the other hand my husband is that morning person who will wake up at 4 to get out the door and run.
I like to sleep in a little bit with my boys and than get going.  Now since we have been back in MN I am able to leave my boys with my parents and go running the catch with that one is that I can't do my long runs when my parents are watching my kids.
Last night I needed to do 9 miles which for me is alot I am working on my very first half on Sept 1st, now I have done 9 miles before I actually did 11 for the tough mudder and it killed me I was done at mile 9 but I kept going and finished I got my orange headband and my wonderful t-shirt. Back to my 9 miles for last night, I was almost done when my phone rang and it was of course my mom asking when I was coming home, I had a half mile left and I would be able to get home. I was only one for 2.5 hours not bad I ran the 9 miles under 2 hours which my goal for the half is 2.30. 
My biggest goal is the Goofy race in January that we have already sign up for, I am scared to death that I won't finish.  I am doing the Jeff Galloway training and will be ready just plain old scared. 
I did find it within me last night to do all my miles and finish strange and not that tried.
