That is how long I have been with DH and for the first time ever, yesterday, we went running together!!!!<br><br>
Now some of you may remember all the issues we were having in the beginning of my HIM training last year and how unsupportive he was. Wow!!!! What a turnaround. Not only am I extreemly proud of him and his quest to get fit but also just overjoyed to be running with my best friend.<br><br>
Yesterday was a happy day!!!

Yeah Kristine! That's really awesome. It's huge that you guys can share that. I'm really happy for you. Enjoy that time together!

XT, that is fablous!!!! Congratulations to you, with all the babysteps you took (and you didn't know you were taking, but showing him a good example) to bring him to yesterday's wonderful moment. Enjoy sharing more runs with him!

That's so cool!<br>
I'm always happy when DW runs with me (not too often, though).

Wonderful! I love running with my DH.

That's really cool Kristine.

Yeah! <img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif"> That gives me hope for my DH.

 

[hobey]

That's cool!<br><br>
I don't run with DH anymore unless he's doing a super short, super recovery. He's too much of a fasthole for my blood. <img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif">

That's great, great news! Glad you guys had fun.

That really is a remarkable turnaround. Be supportive and even a cheerleader in his efforts, but don't push him or make him feel bad, and who knows, maybe the next time you'll post something to the effect of... "15 years, 2 month, and 3 days... my husband and I did a triathlon together."<br><br>
Good stuff. Keep being the positive role model that you are.

Very cool Kristine. I remember you lamenting the lack of support last year, so this is exciting news.<br><br>
Try to strike a balance between pushing him out the door and not pushing him <i>too</i> much, causing him to rebel. It took my wife a couple years of putting up with me prodding her out the door before she finally "became a runner" and no longer needed my nudges. She still does a little, but it's not like pulling teeth anymore.

That's really awesome Kristine - I hope you two can foster this into something that will last well into the future
