Happy Belated National Married-To-A-Runner Day!

I inadvertently forgot to say thanks to my wife yesterday which was "National Married-to-a-Runner day.

I will admit I am not always the easiest person to be with but my wife has done an amazing job and putting up with me. I have an addictive personality that lends itself to becoming extremely immersed in something I am interested in. I keep telling her at least this time around its something that makes me healthy!

Thank you Tina for being understanding of everything that goes into my running. I think it is best summed up by this quote from Runner's World:

"Because, as we all know, being romantically attached to a runner is not the easiest thing in the world. Besides the weekly long runs, there's travel to races, early bedtimes, pre-marathon germ anxiety, piles of sweaty laundry… Let's face it: Our significant others put up with a lot."

You can pretty much check off each of those things as things my wife deals with on a regular basis. I have to remember to mark my calendar for next year so I don't forget this holiday again as it probably is more meaningful than Valentine's day to her.
