Yes, apparently my legs and body are telling me about the marathon on Saturday - "Hey slacker, you could've gone a lot harder"...

I've decided to treat Saturday like what it was - a good, long training run.  (Only 17 of the mile splits were within 10 seconds of my goal marathon pace.)  Time to get the wife to pop this baby out, get everybody healthy and on schedule, and be looking for the next full to register for. :)

Anybody know a good form of bribery to give a mother nursing a 2 month old child?

Wow, you bounced back ridiculously quick! Guys like you make me think there's something wrong with me...

Unfortunately for your next marathon hopes, what moms of 2-month-olds want, is time to themselves (you take the baby).

I have to agree with SlowJoe. Chocolate is always worth a shot. Once the baby is healthy and content enough for a stroller, you may be taking the dog and the baby for a stroll. I have a jogging stroller you can borrow.

:) - Thanks, guys - Maybe I'll just tell her I'm going out for a long run that morning? JK, ofcourse...

I hear that the 10k record for pushing a kid in a stroller is 34:xx. :)
