About a year and a half ago My Man learned that he had high cholesterol. We made some changes to our diet, and much to his chagrin, we cut back drastically on ice cream.
He also picked up a new hobby - running. I thought this involved running a few miles 3 times a week for cardiovascular health. Wrong! I had no idea there is an entire "running world". Now I see how it works - it's all about training for the race . . . and the next race . . . and the next race.
Here's My Man after his recent half-marathon. He was thrilled to run even faster than his goal and even had his PR -- (All of our running friends are trying to get me up to speed with all the running lingo - I think it's pertinent that I mention his PR (personal record), since that, too, is a big deal in the running world).
The kids and I had a great time making an early morning road trip to see him cross the finish line! We loved being there so that we could be a part of this with him. I think Lou has even caught the bug and is trying to talk me into running a half marathon with her next year.
This race was particularly fun since My Man had so many friends running with him. He is all about community.
Post-race hugs-
They were all so proud of their Dad!
