[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a rower and I find it hard to skip a morning practice.  I don't like to do that.  But it's good for me to do that now and then.  I understand your dh's feeling that he has to have his training run but it would be good for him to learn some flexibility and realize that he can afford to miss a run now and then.

That said, probably the best thing would be to find a baby sitter.  That way you don't have to deal with him whining about his training run because I suspect he is not going to see your point of view.[/quote]

But he's already missing his Sunday run, and this would mean that he's going 12 days without a long run, and missing two consecutive days.  That's different from missing a run now and then.

OP, if the issue is the time with your nephew (which I think is totally reasonable for you to want), could you find a teenage babysitter to spend the night and then be there for your kids in the a.m.?

Alternately, could he take a few hours of leave and do a long run on Friday?

If the issue is that $150, I think it's reasonable for a member of a couple to take $150 to spend on something this important to them, and I say that as someone who doesn't run.[/quote]
