Run To Win

I met my wife running, I proposed to my wife running, and she unfortunately doesn't have time to run anymore. First we bought a house, then we had to plan a wedding, and then a week after the wedding she quit her job and went to law school, which left very little time for staying in shape. We did some running together this summer, but even when we are running at the same time we don't run together too often. She isn't in the shape that she used to be, and I just ran an ultramarathon, won a 19 week 5k racing series, and am getting ready for another marathon in a few weeks. She doesn't use RA to track her workouts even when she does get them in regularly.

I met my husband on the internet. He propsed to me on the couch over a meal of mashed potato and chicken. We have sex together. I have a stress fracture and he has a large tummy so we now also sit on the couch together. Run together? Unlikely - but who knows! Claire xxx

hmmm, perhaps this is a good thing considering some of your wording of that last post.... Wink

i met my husband via the runnersworld UK website. he’s much faster than me so we’ve only ever run together a few times when i’ve been doing a tempo run which coincides with one of his easy days. he doesn't post (or log) on RA.

My wife and I are a team. The best team. I am about to run my second full, and the mrs her 2nd half. We run a lot at the same time, but by 5 minutes in, we are nowhere near each other. I run longer distances so we finish together and enjoy post run coffee and or nutrition together. I love her - she loves me, she hates that I run faster, I hate that I don't run even faster. We will always run together. She logs her runs here (username: needy) she never posts (not geeky like us) she is wonderful. If I pass away, I recommend you scoop her up. daddyo

DH = dear husband, dumb husband, dorky (in my case) husband, dumbass husband, etc. did is his initials. Derek Ivan. Little did is Dane Ivan. Big did's dad was Darrell, his dad was Deucle, etc. Smile

DW and I were running together about a month ago (before my stinking foot injuries!) and we passed some rednecks (I can say that because I am one) swilling beer on the porch. My dear competitive wife was about 10 feet in front of me. One of the guys yelled, "Hey Buddy, if you run faster you can catch that chick!" That's the story of my life! For the past 22 years anyway. DW is on here as ChurchAdmin, but she doesn't log regularly. Some of my most enjoyable runs have been with her. One day, the kids rode along on their bikes. That was awesome!

My husband and I used to run together often, but not any more. Sad

Our schedules are always too busy and we end up running at different times and places. And, he is strictly a 3.1 miles runner and only does the course we have around our neighborhood. Sometimes I run with my older children. I really enjoy when I get to do that. My 16 y/o is my challenge running partner, he makes me push myself. My daughter only joins in for a mile here or there. My 13 y/o used to run with me more but now he's on the middle school XC team and ONLY runs with the team. The kids used to take turns riding their bikes along side of me when I ran, but then I introduced hills into my route and they stopped enjoying it. One of these days I'll get my 6 y/o to run around the block with me!

This is a wonderful post. Seriously. I'll leave it at that.

Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life; not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens.

Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars.
