Running NSV

deeannhill · January 2012

So, my hubby says his work (offshore oil platforms) gives him enough exercise that he can "keep up" with me. I've asked him to run a 5K with me in April. In light of that, I asked him if he wanted to run with me in the mornings while he's home. Last night he said yes.

5:00 a.m. he actually gets up and goes with me :noway:
5:15 a.m. we take off at the park - first 5 min is a good 10 min/mile pace, we are striding together
5:25 a.m. i can see him stop to tie his shoe & wave me on, I keep trucking; :happy:
5:35 a.m. lap 2 at the park where I run, I'm clocking a 12 min/mile, a great pace for me; we pass the car & he stops & waves me on
5:45 a.m. I get back to the car, 2.3 miles down at an average of 12.5 min/mile where he's waiting for me to finish :yawn:

So, the NSV here is that I out ran my "fit" hubby! Training, exercise & hard work DO make a difference!!! :laugh: :laugh:
