Well, we had a rather nice run today — it was actually the furthest I’ve gone in one stretch (since I got out of the army, at least) without walking. It was ridiculously slow, but Dan assures me that slow jogging is better than being a little speedier and needing to walk more. Anyway, here is a picture of me looking hideous after our run. I am not one of those lucky people, like Dan, who seems to completely lack any blood vessels in the face. At the first hint of exertion (or heat, cold or basically anything else for that matter) I turn into a little tomato. Beet. Radish. Whatever you feel like calling me. I’ll stick with tomato since they are tasty and refreshing.
Anyyywaaaay.. just thought I’d post and stroke my own ego since I basically ran from the house to our “normal spot” and back whereas I usually only run to the “normal spot” and then walk back. Go me. Or something like that.. /stroke /stroke
Congratulations on making a full-distance run! Seriously, it sucks (I hate running, and cardio in general, swimming and biking excepted, sometimes elliptical, but only because biking/swimming isn’t feasible in Minnesota during the winter).
Your husband also doesn’t seem to possess sweat glands in his head, from what I can remember.

I have to admit, when I exercise, I sweat like a whore in church. It’s really sad.
Last itme I went for a run with my wife, it was bad news indeed. I thought she was gonna die. I slowed myself down as much as I could with gear strapped onto my back
Ryan - He sweats a bit more now, I guess since it’s so god damned hot here. By the time I’m completely soaked, however, he’s just started to bead up a little.
Griz - If I get to running too slow, or if Dan just wants a better workout while still being with me, he’s literally run circles around me as I jog. That way he can run as fast as he wants, runs a longer distance than me, and we can still chat ^_^ Not that I’m usually good for chatting while we run.
