[quote=Anonymous]I can't believe someone training for an Ironman is limiting carbs.  That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard.  What the hell?

OP, I can totally sympathize - this would drive me crazy.  I see this in a lot of my friends - it's the zealotry of the newly converted.  They start marathoning or doing triathlons and they go completely mental and preachy.  Meanwhile, I - who have been racing for 35 years (including marathons) - am very relaxed about exercise and diet because I've always done it and it's just a normal part of my life, not some conversion.

OP, take a stand.  Be supportive, but carve out your own time for your own workouts.  Don't let him make you feel bad for "only" running 5-6 miles - that's still pretty impressive.  Get a running stroller and take the kid out with you, if need be, for a REALLY excellent workout.  (seriously, your back and arms will look amazing.)  during the winter, find a gym that has treadmills and a daycare, and pound out the miles there.  Eat carbs.  Drink wine.  You are an adult and you are allowed to make your own dietary choices.  [/quote]
