My wife started running again in May a couple of months after having our third child. It has now come to my attention that she is capable of running faster than me while pushing two kids in a stroller with a dog and another child on a bike next to her. Seriously WTF? So I am officially quitting running and sticking with benching and deadlifting. There is no way she can get better than me at those right?
Why I quit running.

Suck it up Abide! Lol! We all
Suck it up Abide! Lol! We all have different things we are better at than others. This is like my wife saying she doesn't want to run because I run faster than her or she doesn't want to go to the gym with me because I know what I'm doing and she doesn't. I really hate that attitude and it gets people no where except quittersville. Not saying you are a quitter, I just hate this type of attitude. My wife uses these types of things as excuses and it drives me insane.

He's 5 and good point
He's 5 and good point Palouse, I should get her pregnant again to help my ego.
Nick for the record I am mostly being sarcastic. I'm not really quitting running, I'm just jealous of her superhuman powers.
For the record I run slower, without pushing anything and all I get for my efforts are injuries and a beer gut? It's just not fair.

Just punch her square in the
Just punch her square in the mouth.* Or be a real man and run faster. We cant let a female be superior to us in any way shape form or fashion! In fact, what is she doing outside of the kitchen anyways? Unless its going to buy food then you need to set her straight.* Theres no way in hell I would let my wife out do me in anything except for cooking and cleaning, and thats only because those are her jobs. Oh, and rearing children, thats her job too....*
*Please dont actually do this as Im being completely sarcastic, the fact that I have to put this disclaimer on this kind of makes me worry about what I think about what other people think I think about. Great, now my brains are hurted again....

Ok, I gave this some more
Ok, I gave this some more thought. Your wife being faster than you says a LOT more about her running than about yours. She is doing incredibly well, not sure if I'll ever run as fast as my husband. So there is nothing better you can do than to become her greatest admirer. Give credit where credit is due. You are one lucky guy to have a wife who takes such excellent care of herself.

Just be passive aggressive.
Just be passive aggressive. If she asks you to go get some milk or something from the store, say "why? You are faster, you go." That's how I handle my marriage. Anyone who says marriage is not a war is a liar. But then again, I equate everything to war.

Who's got the 'cans in the
Who's got the 'cans in the family now? Sounds like you are MANSTRATING or going through postpartum. Why don't you push the running stroller for awhile and work off some of that sympathy weight? You might become a faster runner.

Thanks guys, I think I should
Thanks guys, I think I should just call the wahmbulance. You barefoot runners are the least empathetic people I have ever known...
Speaking of weight I was contemplating how much I would have to lose to qualify for Boston. I came up with 40lbs. and I would have to become a serious runner. Forget that Boston's overated anyway.
