Yeah and if we can get @SFBayDuck back healthy, all three of us could crush some trails up here. Sinister 7 is the local #BMF ultra, but I'm not enough of a #BMF to run it. Iron Legs is in my usual stomping grounds and more within my capabilities. Either way, a day+ on the trails with you guys, followed by some Alberta steak (Alberta is the Texas of Canada) and microbrews would rock.

urge then I don't have to fight it.
Obviously you know your wife better than any of us do, but I would add to this that your wife's feelings on such matters now may differ from your wife's feelings on such matters after the baby is born.
Agree. And I meant to add more to my answer but I kept getting interrupted at work.
I was thinking the same thing. Those first 6 months aren't that difficult aside from the lack of sleep. Once that baby starts moving though, oof. Get ready for:
I appreciate the feedback, and I totally get all that, but we're talking about me potentially being gone for 2-3 nights, not 2-3 weeks.
Wow. I'm usually around 1900 + whatever I earn from running (about 600/hr). So usually about 2600 daily average. But I'm a scrawny weakling.Assume:
*a normal amount of weekly activity (about 8 hours)
*no more than one night of potential drinking
*and no special occasions that will result in food I won't normally eat ending up in the house (we have two cakes in the kitchen right now)
3500 is the north end, but I try to stay closer to 3K. This way if I get to Sunday and I get an eating like a
What's your limit for the afternoon/evening?Assume:

*no more than one night of potential drinking

He hasn't learned this equation yet:
Speaking of laughter, one of my most surreal experiences with our first child was my wife coming back to bed after a nighttime feeding completely distraught:
FWIW, 2-3 nights away with a small human is...**deep breath**...A LOOOOOOOT different than 2-3 nights away without one.
My baseline is about 2200 calories. My actual caloric burn/day varies, but I average between 1200 and 1300 calories when I sustain an 8 hours of exercise/week average.
Post little ones, my first out of town business trip was the most amazing thing. I went to bed at 5:30 PM and slept until 9:00 AM.
My day-to-day is too inconsistent to coherently answer, but my area of weakness is in primetime. I focus my energy there and resist the pigout urge on Sunday when I'm watching my intake.
I've been trying to do 2,200 plus whatever I burn exercising (for example, 366 today on the Peloton), but I'm already at 1,747, and I'm famished. I also don't think I'm eating enough protein.Assume:
*a normal amount of weekly activity (about 8 hours)
*no more than one night of potential drinking

The running stroller is the ONE thing that my wife has actually agreed to let me pick out for the baby. She gets to pick the everyday stroller, the lightweight "umbrella" stroller, and essentially everything else.
I have a great idea. You can pick up the baby and babysit while house hunting in Wisconsin, while the Grues and the Marcos have a great time in AZ!
Then 20 years later, everyone will wonder why, when Miss Gru-ette comes home from college, all she wants to do is sit by the garage entrance and drink beer ...with an occasional foray to the local Home Depot to see if any new shovels have arrived.
He’ll have that kid out there watching the weather with him in the middle of a tornado. Farmer’s market and McDonald's breakfast sandwiches in the AM. FOH
I’m glad others with more thread credibility brought up what I was thinking. My own personal opinion and everyone is different but not only am I not leaving my wife alone with a 7 week old I’m also such a mental disaster from lack of sleep that there’s no way I’m running regularly leading up to and after the baby. I have 3 kids and month 3 was about where I could function normally again for each of them.
Be interested to hear your take on the running stroller. I've heard people say it was a good workout and other that literally screwed there knee up so bad they had to have an operation and no longer run. Much different gait with the stroller.
I don't think I adjusted my stride much using either of ours (we had a single and a double). Upper body? Yes, massive difference there. The only way I could get comfortable was to alternate hands every couple minutes. But waist down? No issues. And, yes, it is a great workout - more effort/mile necessary, depending on the size of small human(s). While I was slower (especially going uphill!) I never ran for more than an hour.beer 30 said:
Well I've pushed an adult in a half marathon for myTEAM TRIUMPH, so I'm not too worried about pushing a kid. It was definitely harder on the shoulders/upper body than it was on the legs, but I lift fairly regularly, so it wasn't too bad.beer 30 said:
Um, yeah, I already do that. Up at 0315 on weekdays I'm running 20Ks. Still don't have time for anything but working, eating, and sleeping.
Yup if you start at or before 0359, it's a night run.
Yeah, I always run faster in the afternoons. When I am seriously training for something, I simply cannot run early in the morning. My body (and mind) just isn't ready for speed work that early.
Same. General aerobic runs, whatever. But any speed/quality has to come later in the day.
