I've been begging him. But this former uber-athlete was tired/hungry/didn't want to walk/knees hurt/ibs kicked in/etc. Then he started to see how consistent I was and thought he might join me. Today, he joined me again. I truly hope he doesn't stop. So, I guess that brings me to another question. What else is new? Do you run with your spouse/significant other?

Goals:
Finish C25K

I'm slower than a herd of turtles stampeding through peanut butter, but I run.

My wife is on her second week of C25K- I will run part of my 3+ easy miles with her while she does her 1.4 miles.

started running @ age 48 [lost 70#+, quit a 30 year pack/day habit>> ran HM] Ran a few years then quit. Gained 70#+ back and smoking like before. Time to get healthy again @ 52 years over with the C25K program and beyond again. RE-start date 1-13-14

My wife was excited to start the C2K and finished the first week. She was then attacked and bitten by two dogs and is now on crutches. Sad

She has been on them for 2 months now and is in physical therapy twice a week. The say she wont be able to run until Dec at the earliest. She still supports my running though!

Goals :
•Drop to 180 #s and hold steady around that weight

That is awful for her. Please say this didn't happen while she was running...

OMG, wow!!! I hope she recovers to join you a lot faster than the doctors say. I wish her the best!

Hi, My GF bikes while I run. It paces me and gets her to look at scenery and relax. It is not really a workout for her but we spend time together and I have plenty of water Wink

Hi there! Like Patarch, I often have a cycling "pacer" - my DH, but try as I might I can't get him to run. You're very lucky!

My DH "hates running", like I did for years. I told him I didn't think he could run like me and he said "That sounds like a challenge", which is exactly why I don't really want him to run. What I meant by "like me" was, he couldn't just go and run, slowly, consistently, without overanalyzing distance, pace, technique, etc, etc, etc, and turning the run into a competition. He's a wonderful man and great husband, but he comes from a big, competitive, overanalytical family and it's hard to drop that baggage. My dogs just run with me. They are my other, other, significant others (behind hubby and the kids). They don't care about the details, just the joy of being out there. I hope to be like them. Only less drooly.

Excellent- My wife does the same thing, at first she only came along for runs of 15k or more now she comes on all of them. You are correct about the water my last long run I went through 4, 16oz bottles. Then there is the cell phone, kleenx, and towel. I do give her alot of credit for being able to stay on the bike for 4hrs during my long run. I think she is stiffer than I at the end of the day. MTA- Mike that is terrible about the dog attack, I hope she gets compensated.
