[today’s run: 3.5 miles]
You may notice that I’ve been running a bit more regularly recently. I’ve been trying to pick up the pace a bit and trim down, possibly.
I’m pretty happy to run for 40 minutes or an hour. That’s a good amount for me. My wife, on the other hand, tells me she is just warming up after an hour and really enjoys the long stuff.
Well, tomorrow will be her happy day because she is running a 50 mile race. She has a cut-off time of 12 hours. I’m excited for her.
I’m going to hang out at the start/finish. She will come through there every 2-1/2 to 3 hours. The run is out in a forested area. I”m going to string out a wire antenna and do a bit of ham radio. And I’m going to eat snacks and read a book and just goof around. She’ll be running the whole time. I try to be at attention when she zooms by. Actually, I’m going to try to be awake and be prepared to dig out clean socks or fill her water bottles or whatnot.
And then at the end of the run I help her hobble to the car. I get to be a hero that way.
