Since his knee surgery last year he hasn't been able to run, and we both terribly miss our time together on the trail. He's encouraging me to take up biking so we can at least do that together.<br /><br />Thanks for linking up!Debbiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15673587906852568968noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2647157930116406632.post-37656164196087531142016-03-24T18:09:09.994-05:002016-03-24T18:09:09.994-05:00We should have a support group!We should have a support group!Wendy at Taking the Long Way Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09934786207724059919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2647157930116406632.post-27992395607895618042016-03-24T18:08:53.910-05:002016-03-24T18:08:53.910-05:00So that works well-it's an "open" ma...So that works well-it's an "open" marriage!Wendy at Taking the Long Way Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09934786207724059919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2647157930116406632.post-66679418010650032892016-03-24T18:08:28.851-05:002016-03-24T18:08:28.851-05:00Of course!

I'm in the same boat as you - my husband is so supportive and hates when he has to miss a race, yet he definitely makes jabs about my training, my racecations, and my blog too!

I try to work it so that it doesn't interfere with our lives (which is one of the reasons why I'm not going to try for another marathon any time soon, if ever), and I think he appreciates that. It was a little easier when he was still running, because he got it. When he "retired", he spent a few weeks kind of trying to talk me into "retiring" too and then he got mostly on board. This week, he sat down with me to discuss a plan for my recovery, and actually adjusted his schedule so I could get to yoga tonight to work on my hip. Which was really thoughtful and supportive. That being said, he's really not interested in my race stories or running anecdotes, which is tough, because he's the guy I want to share those things with.Runs With Pugshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03171128110788554302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2647157930116406632.post-2587018124608172332016-03-23T20:44:24.777-05:002016-03-23T20:44:24.777-05:00I used to get up really early to run when the boys...I used to get up really early to run when the boys were little.
