Two broken legs? Well, I'll just stretch a little, take an extra GU, maybe insert a few walk breaks. Legs ripped of by a bear? Well, I'll lay off the hill work for a couple weeks and work on my base. Nuclear war breaksout? The first question - what's the best hydration strategy for running through the fallout? Runners. Frickin' runners, in fact. And they're all over this place. More threads than I can count where the first and last question is - how do I get back to running? Seriously. How many threads follow this pattern: "Hey, it's perpetually dark outside .... or there is a local pack of man-eating pit bulls ... or I've got a collapsed lung .... now, how do go running?"
Your toughness is made up of equal parts persistence and experience. You don't so much outrun your opponents as outlast and outsmart them, and the toughest opponent of all is the one inside your head." - Joe Henderson

good for her, let her know that times on treadmills are a whole lot slower than on the road or track

She's off to her pedicure. Another 1.6 pounds this week. I just had a disturbing thought: what do I do if she ends up running faster than me? After all, I'm not exactly Speedy Gonzales. Or his cousin, Medium-Fast Gonzales. More like his third-cousin, twice-removed, Slowly Plodding Gonzales. And she's got ten years on me. And used to be a national level gymnast. Oops. This could be trouble.

Or how about this, She finishes a race in the not-too-distant future. While waiting for you to complete the same race, she meets the 25-29 male age group winner. Once you cross the finish line and find her laughing/talking with him, she introduces you as her uhm, "running coach"...
Just had to open this thread thinking I might find something really creative my wife could do in her running shoes other than run. Boy was I dissappointed!
By the way, I just learned that my girl has actually been logging all her runs for months, and I didn't have a clue. One of these days I'm going to sign her up here against her will and enter all her runs, just for the helluva it.

Sounds like your "girl" has a mind of her own. And... for months... probably would have fit your definition of a "runner" by the way... ::smirk::
