Runners, Take Your Marks

My husband and I have been training for a 5K race for almost two weeks now. It has been so much fun to be doing a hobby with my husband. Even though we take shifts with running in the morning and the evening, it's so fun to be doing this together. Some nights, we've had to be inventive as to how to fit in our run together. One night we took turns running up and down our street, while the other stayed on the porch to listen for the kids. We ended that workout by running through our own sprinklers at 10:00 at night. It was great! (I wonder what the neighbors thought. "Honey, the Corbridge's are outside running through their sprinklers!")

I've learned that if you can connect anything with technology, it makes it that much more exciting for my husband, and low and behold, my husband discovered the Nike chips that go in your shoes and connect to your Ipod. It really is a fun way to train. You can work on certain physical goals, it will tell you how far, how fast and how long you've run, it will graph it for you on your computer....geeky stuff like that. Right up my husband's alley. Geeky husbands are hot, by the way. So, the training has begun, and the race is on. I will post as to how the results turn out. In the meantime, know that my husband and I are looking good and feeling fine. Get set......
