So Mark Remy over at Runner’s World has a great blog entry today, declaring Oct. 25 as National Married to a Runner Appreciation Day. I can’t quite figure out if my wife should appreciate me for being a runner, or I should appreciate her for dealing with my sometimes passionate way of life. Maybe it’s both?
I kid, I kid … I actually think this is a great idea. Everything else we do has a national day, so why a day like this?
I don’t have money for real flowers or a nice meal out right now, but I truly appreciate my wife giving me the time to go for a run on a Monday evening or an early Saturday morning. Training for a race seems so selfish, but truth be told, I wouldn’t be able to do what I do without my wife’s support.
And without my wife, I wouldn’t be able to take silly pictures of myself like this …
… can you see me?

Make sure she sees this post because sometimes, a little appreciation puts somebody on top of the world
AND, that's a pretty sweet shot.
Sweet!
Awe, thanks
I appreciate you, too! I know I'm not at always at every race like I was at the beginning, but you motivate me when you go out on those dark and/or rainy days to do what you love not because you love it, but because you need to in order to get better. Can't wait to cheer you on in Richmond!!
I 100% agree, great idea for a national something day. Spouses/significant others realllly help, especially when they're nice enough to massage your legs! Honestly, I couldn't find Chicago without my husband!
VERY NICE !
