My wife's support of my running - she's the best

Great and supportive wife..enjoy your running this winter and good luck training for your 1/2 Mary!

yes, I looked like the Michelan Man....smart guy

That was my first thought too!

I need to find me a hubby that will do that.  I love running outdoors in the winter.  Don't forget to pick up a head lamp for running in the dark if you don't already have one. 

Can I give your wife my wife's phone number?

Great news! My husband (who doesn't train with me, but like you puts up with the early morning alarms/times away when I am training, etc.) got me two pairs of winter running tights last year without my knowing...always nice to know that you are supported even though they may not completely understand the actions!

(I also thought that you wore the three compression shirts simultaneously...which would have been a sight!)

did she use your credit card, or hers? 

I told my wife that I need 130 miles running in the month of December to make my annual mile goal. She promptly said, "I'll keep bugging you to run every day so you can make it." Can't beat that.

She has totally gotten on board with the whole tri training thing ever since I took the whole family to the REV 3 Cedar Point. She finally "got" what triathlon is all about.

It is awesome to have a tri-supportive spouse. Congratulations on yours.

Couldn't agree more! My wife and son joined me on my IM Wis volunteer trip and loved it!  

What did she buy for HERSELF?

I showed my wife my 2011 Triathlon/Duathlon Racing Plan, and she threatened to walk out!



Joke.......hehehe.....I'm happy to get a head nod, a deep sigh of resignation, and a "just be careful, hon".....(and she's probably right)! Im haplpy for any signs of support that I get.

I'm guessing that's the typical reaction from a triathlon widow/widower? It's a time consuming sport, and it takes away from family time, for sure. But it sure beats having to take blood pressure medication, or being stressed out all the time....I am a much calmer, centered, and pleasant person to be around with after a 2.5 hour brick, so there are benefits to all of this.

That's awesome! Jealous!

I am working on my hubby for a new tri bike ... he is requiring a certain amount of non-monetary marital ummm payment.

Interested in a new car?


 

Cool...It is great to have a supportive wife.  My wife has woke up as early as 4:00AM to travel to races with me and puts up with all my training.  She has even started running in the last few months and wants to do a TRI next year.  We went in to purchase her some new running shoes last month and we both came out of the store with new pairs.  Love my wife.

There is no limit to what I would do if my wife would agree on a tri bike purchase!  Unfortunately, the power of the ummm payments, doesn't seem to work as well in this direction!
