A run with the hubby...

Tonight, I headed out for a quick 3 mile run with the hubby.  He is still fairly new to this whole running thing and runs faster than I do, but take a lot more walk breaks.  So we typically start out together with him leading, then he runs/walks well I continue on.  I wait for him at the same points each run.

As we approached our typical turn around point, I wanted to go just a little farther, so I sent him to make our typical one block triangle and head back toward home... while I continue on for a half mile loop.  Our plan was for me to meet up with him along "Dermond Ave" somewhere.  Well as I was heading back I noticed that it was really "Marvine Ave" that we run down.  Dermond was one block over.  I was hoping that he realized what I meant.  I mean it was our typical route.

Well apparently somewhere on the 2 remaining sides of the triangle that he had to go himself, he got lost.  Eventually, he found Dermond and continued towards home.  I was running down Marvine looking ahead for him, while he is running down Dermond looking behind for me.

Well I made it to the school where we usually meet up and was confused why he wasn't there.  So I headed to Dermond and ran back towards him for 5/6 blocks.  Then I figured I took too long and he headed home (with our only key).  So I headed home, hoping that he would be there.  Nope.  I left my headband on the door knob and headed back out to look for him.

I was getting slightly worried that he was hurt.  I continued down Dermond looking for him, made a big loop and came back up Marvine.  There was my hubby waiting on the corner near the school for me.

He had been there for 5 minutes of so... Meanwhile I ran an extra 1.3 miles around looking for him.

So the hubby ran 2.9 miles and I ran 4.2 miles.   That man drives me crazy!  But at least I got in a good run.

  2. An excellent run. And such a boy thing to do. BUT my mum did always say if you are lost you should stay where you are until someone finds you. Haha

  3. It was probably a good distraction though? Worried about him, running to find him...instead of worrying about hitting your goal distance, pace, etc. Men! :-)
