one step at a time, again
Last week my husband started running. On his own. Around the block. I am so proud of him. He hates to exercise and this was a big step for him. So he is able to make it almost around the block with out stopping. He has different goals than me, but that is ok. I don’t usually like to run with him. He runs fast. And I can’t keep up with him. But I can go for a long time and a lot slower. Another thing, he likes to run around the block and I like to run on a path. I am not ready to run in my neighborhood in the daylight. So I am thankful that it is getting darker and I will be able to join him on his evening runs. Ok, one more complaint. He like to run on a full stomach, and I have to have an empty stomach.
So, tonight we went for a run. Before dinner. Walked .25 of a mile. Then ran .75, turned and ran .25. Dh stopped at the .75 so I turned and walked back to him. Then we ran .25 miles, walked .25 miles and then we were done.
It was good.
My DH goes too fast for me, too, but I can outlast him. So he runs on ahead, and I run lagging behind, but when he has to stop and walk, I catch up to him. It works out. And I like to go before breakfast, he likes to go after dinner. Must be a girl/guy thing. It’s nice that your husb wants to get in shape with you. How was your knee on the run?
