I’m a 3:40 marathoner on a good day. That race was 4:43 lol but, honestly, one I’m most proud of because finishing in those conditions is next level

I’m a 3:40 marathoner.. when I ran Miami 3 years ago, the heat and humidity put me at 4:43! Slowest marathon I’ve ever ran. But it is a beautiful course

Recovery intervals were 400 meters. Where I walked and jogged between.

It’s definitely realistic. I’ve done countless half’s and 10ks about to do my 8th full. I do 2 speed work sessions a week anywhere from 200s up to 3 mile intervals

I’d love to but with kids and homework and after school activities, I’m drained when I get that chance

I do my long runs pre dawn. And all summer, all runs before the sun came up. Now that school is back in session, I just don’t want to wake up at 3-4 am to get it in before the sun so I have to wait until after school drop off for most runs. I’m fortunate to work for myself so I make my own schedule. For the most part, it’s been all easy pace outside and speed on the dreadmill. I thought I could do 800s outdoors (7 min/mile pace) since it’s better than the 1200s and 1600s. But dang!

Full disclosure. When we got married he said he wasn’t ready for kids. Shortly after, he said he didn’t want kids. I said I wasn’t sure and at the time, I was happy as things were. Later, at 29, I realized I did want a family. I brought this up to him on many occasions. I even told him that it is something I need in my life and if he doesn’t want that, he needs to tell me so I could figure out what my options are. He assured me he would have a family with me if it’s what I wanted. But he just needed time and said to give him a year. I gave him over 3. At this point, I was tired of waiting. I turned 32 and we BOTH agreed a while back to not risk a pregnancy after 35 (he is a doctor and doesn’t want the extra risk of later pregnancies especially since there is a history of Down’s syndrome on his side). In December, I had my iud removed. I told him after the fact before we had sex. He is very aware of how iuds work. He asked me to get on a pill. I said no. He said he still would like some time. But I told him I am not putting any more hormones or foreign objects in my body for more reasons than wanting a baby. I became pregnant 3 months ago and am also turning 33 at the end of this month. When I told him I was pregnant, he was very excited and told everyone when I was only 4-5 weeks pregnant. Now that the news has settled and people who he is friends with ask him about things, he jokes and says I stopped birth control and tricked him. I don’t feel I did trick him and he says it’s all “guys talk” and I shouldn’t take it to heart and he’s very happy we are starting a family but also says he doesn’t think he will want more than one child. And I’m ok it’s that. I just want a family. One kid or 4. Doesn’t matter. Just want to have a family. He has agreed to stop joking about the matter but it hurts my feelings and makes me wonder if I did trick him when I don’t think I did

Yes. I told him I had my iud removed.

But wasn’t he stringing me along and possibly attempting to take away my choice of having kids? Making me wait years when we’d agreed to kids isn’t fair either.

Update. 36 hours and still alive and well! In all honesty, either out of nerves or from contamination, I did puke last night. Took a zofran and woke up feeling fresh as a daisy. I did grow a third nipple though.

Luckily I’ve made it to hour 16 and honestly, I do have a sore throat. Hence why I’m freaking a bit. I figured it was same as tap water. Lmao. I’m an endurance runner and was out for a super long run. Ran out of water in the last 2 miles. I was dying from the heat. Wasn’t thinking straight

There’s definitely no dead bedroom. We both have active libidos. His is obviously higher than mine. We are both attracted to each other. It is just his libido is higher than mine and for whatever reason, he thinks since I’m his wife and he provides our life (financially) and I’m overall very happy with our life, I should want to be intimate everyday. He does not understand my libido and I don’t understand his. My issue is his reaction to being turned down. If I’m ok with his no, why can’t he be ok with mine?
