Although he never really admitted he was obsessed with running, Zhao claims that it was always his number one priority. At first, she had encouraged him to run in order to preserve his health, but soon it became the only thing he cared about. In the end, it caused a rift between the spouses and one of the husband\u2019s desperate actions convinced the woman that she was better off on her own.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Photo: <a href=\"https:\/\/pixabay.com\/photos\/man-runner-running-fitness-canal-4800810\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">unitea\/Pixabay<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<p>According to Toutiao News, Zhao wrote in her post that her ex-husband once left their 5-year-old daughter alone in a car for several hours, just so he could do what he loved most, run. The woman did not observe this herself, but her daughter later told her everything. Apparently, her ex-husband bought the 5-year-old girl breakfast, gave her his phone for entertainment, locked her in a car, and went to run in a marathon.<\/p>\n<p>Confronted by Chinese media after Zhao\u2019s post went viral all over the country, the father, Peng, admitted to leaving his daughter alone in the car so he could run in the marathon. However, he claimed that he only ran a short distance before returning to the girl.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI only ran 1.5km then returned to the car to find her sleeping,\u201d Peng said, before telling the mother that if she didn\u2019t like the way he raised their daughter, she should take her away with her.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHis addiction to running destroyed our family,\u201d Zhao said.<\/p>\n<aside class=\"mashsb-container mashsb-main mashsb-stretched\">\n                <\/aside>\n<\/div>\n<p><script type=\"c0f24ebce2c7708a46e32b37-text\/javascript\">(function(d, s, id) {\n  var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];\n  if (d.getElementById(id)) return;\n  js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;\n  js.src = \"\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version=v2.4&appId=665932603465761\";\n  fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);\n}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));<\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A recently divorced woman denounced her husband\u2019s obsession with running, claiming that he once left their 5-year-old daughter locked in a car for hours so he could run a marathon.
