[quote=Anonymous]DH is a serious runner, training for a marathon (his 13th?  14th?  I've lost count) this fall.  We have two young kids and he's generally very considerate about his running habit not taking family time - he runs before the kids get up on weekday mornings and does one long run per weekend, is usually home by 9am, and expects that I'll use the other weekend morning to do an extended workout (I'm into exercise too, though not to the extent he is).

I'm planning a quick weekend trip (Sat am - Sun pm) to MA to visit my brother's new baby next month.  There's a flight that's much cheaper than the others - at least $150 depending on when I look - but it leaves at 830am from BWI, meaning I'd need to leave the house at 630am.  He's adamant that I not take that flight because it interferes with his weekend run (which he  can't do Sunday because I won't be in town).  So I'd have to spend much more money and see my family for less time, all so he doesn't miss/have to cut short his run.  I sympathize to a degree, but I have less than 48 hours to meet my new nephew and I feel like this is a one-time thing he should suck up (I've spent many weekends alone with the kids while he travels to races, though he's done a bunch alone as well for various reasons.)
