FBH Ups the Ante

by Bill Wallace on March 2, 2010

I mentioned in my previous post that the other day I woke up around 5:30am to find that the FBH was nowhere in sight. She had got a bee in her bonnet and had headed out for a run that ended up being a total of around 7ks with a good 5+ks of running!

She’s done it again. This morning she’s up and at ‘em and completed another 5+k run while I, in my usual professional way, slept in!

Now, she is no sloth. She has always been industrious around the house and the garden. But sport of any kind hasn’t been her thing. So to jump out of bed this early, grab the dog and drag her along as well is fantastic. (Not sure the dog agrees with me!)

She uses my old Nokia N95 and Nokia Sports Tracker to track her runs but I can feel the pull of an iPhone for her.

All of a sudden when I am registering for a race I have to go find her and see if she wants to play as well. Which she says she does. Woohoo! :)

    You are lucky to have your partner joining in! But it sure sounds like you will have the pressure on you to perform from now on :-)

    Yes, that’s true. What if she beats me in a race??? (I’m not competitive!! :) )

    It’s great having your wife running as well. I found that since my wife took up running I no longer have as many complaints about the time it takes me!

    :) True! It’s good to have them running. Funny how it took 45 years for me to get started!!!
