What I do:
When I am having some, typically minor, marriage problems with the little mrs. I will put on some racing sweats and put on my finisher's medals from my various races. I will then go down the the local shopping mall and wander around the various stores. Oft times shoppers will approach me and ask questions about the medals. I will have the shopper sit down whilst I recount the joys of tackling the marathon beast. The shopper, as a rule, will great this tale with a look of shock and awe at my athleticism. Occasionally they will ask for some autograph to display in the homestead (unfortunately I do no provide autographs to the random fan). Following my time in the mall I drive back home secure in the realization that my problems with my wife are insignificant in the running world and I should not waste any more time worrying. Then I will turn on the television and watch Land of the Lost reruns.
Hopefully this helps.
