Tonight I ran after work I am just trying to get back to where I was 8 months ago when I could run 3  miles without having a heart attack or at least feeling like I was going to. Kory ran with me although he probably felt like he was walking I ran an overall pace of 11:23 mile It was about 22 degrees kind of cold but nice after working with children all day.

Welcome welcome welcome..we fellow wives of crazy runners (I'm married to the craziest of them all...Sasha) love it when other wives join up. I think you'll love the blog and love getting in shape.

Welcome to the blog! Michelle - after I add Gender to the user data form we will be able to get a count of chicks vs guys.

YEE-HAW! Another wife of a fasty on the blog. Welcome! There are quite a few of us that got on this blog after getting tired of waiting for our hubbies to get home from a run. Sarah is married to Sasha, Marcie--Jon, Bethany--Cody, Mik'L--Clyde, E-beth--Armyrunner, Me--James W, Stacy--Paul Peterson etc. etc.

Hey Sasha, if you are thinking of putting gender in the user data form-you should just have people put their age division, including Clydes and so forth. That way we can check on how others in our division train etc. It helps make the blog not seem so big and daunting if we can connect with others in our situation.

Welcome! It's good to have another runner to chat with. Happy running!

Woot woot! I am so excited to see another "wife" on here. Awesome goals! Mine are similar, and I think I am in a similar position to you. Yeah! Do you have a race planned or anything you are training for? When I joined, I got the advice to book a 5K and then train for that. It really helped motivate me. Also, Stacy and I are running the 5 miler in Moab in march. Are you and Kory going down? Sorry, dont mean to overwhelm you....

Welcome to the blog and great job getting back into running. Now I need to get my wife back running after her knee issues and on the blog as well.

Welcome to the blog Rachelle. It's a great motivator and support network. Now if I could only get my hubby to join. . .
