My wife has been running for the last year or so, and she runs 5k's.
Last night, she asked me to pick up her race packet for her. When I got there, I asked if I could still sign up. I thought I'd give it a try.
My plan was to see if I could stay with my wife for the first 2 miles, then see how I felt at that point, to see what I'd do for the last mile. I really had no idea how I would do, because I didn't train for the race. I've been jogging once in the last 6 months. My first goal was to just finish the race. And my second goal, was to finish under 30 minutes.
My "official" time was 25:41. I'm happy with that time for my first 5k. My wife was pissed though. She runs, and I don't. And I beat her by 6 minutes.
I couldn't let my wife beat me in a race! I'd be so ashamed!

Why wasn't your wife at home in the kitchen making sandwiches? You have to keep her on a shorter leash.RickD wrote:My "official" time was 25:41. I'm happy with that time for my first 5k. My wife was pissed though. She runs, and I don't. And I beat her by 6 minutes.

If they had a social gospel in the days of the prodigal son, somebody would have given him a bed and a sandwich and he never would have gone home.

Re: Ran my first ever 5k
I let her out to run, so she can be in shape for the womanly things she needs to do. Like making sammiches, and cleaning.Furstentum Liechtenstein wrote:Why wasn't your wife at home in the kitchen making sandwiches?

Oh...OK, then. I hope you didn't let her run in a skimpy outfit for all the infidels to gawk at her. She was wearing a burqa, right?RickD wrote:I let her out to run, so she can be in shape for the womanly things she needs to do. Like making sammiches, and cleaning.

Burqa? No. She was running in a Halloween costume. She was dressed as Chewbacca from Star Wars. That way, her hairy legs, and hairy armpits, blend right in with the costume.Furstentum Liechtenstein wrote:Oh...OK, then.

But when she trains, and I tie her to a chain that's tied to the back of my truck, she has to wear a burqa.

Re: Ran my first ever 5k
OK...for a moment, I was worried that you were losing control of your woman. I like your truck idea but I don't have a truck here. To control my woman, I just hide her shoes so she can't leave the house. There's nothing but rocks and snow here so my system works well.RickD wrote:But when [my woman] trains, and I tie her to a chain that's tied to the back of my truck, she has to wear a burqa.
Carry on. And congratulations on your first 5 km rum run.
