6 easy miles on the treadmill at 5am this morning. First run since the marathon and I felt great. Don't get me wrong, my slow pace felt fast, but I did not have any aches or pains. What a great way to kick off my birthday! I made sure to spend a good 15-20 minutes rolling around on the foam roller after I finished my run.
While I was on the treadmill, I chatted with one of the guys from the Y who was running next to me. It just so happens to be the same person I ran with during most of the marathon. Anyway, we were discussing the Rock CF Half Marathon and he said his wife signed up with him. I also found out one of my other running buddies and his girlfriend signed up as well. I planned on running this but thought about how great it would be if my husband would run it too. Chris said he wanted to try a half marathon one day, so why not make it the Rock CF half? I called him as soon as I left the gym. I told him my Y running friends and their spouses are running it and how I'd like him to run it too. He agreed! I am totally pumped! It will be his first half marathon and I am so excited to help him train. I made sure to register us both as soon as I got to work this morning. If you are thinking about running this, I have a $5 off coupon code. Just let me know if you'd like it.

How awesome that you talked your husband into running that with you! That will be so much fun! And even better that there are other couples doing it with you guys!
