Run to You...
I was really looking forward to posting something last night. But I was so incredibly tired and headachey that it was tough to concentrate. I didn't even fully pay attention to last night's "Survivor: All Stars."

I had a fruitful talk with "the spousal unit" (thanks for the colloquialism, SQ!) though... It was alighthearted conversation, but it was one that we needed to have. You seem we used to go out running quite a bit, but both of us have slacked off. A lot of it has to do with us being completely exhausted after a day's work, and having a kid who requires lots of attention has cut into our running time together. And because of this, we simply haven't found a lot of time or energy to run together.

However, we also talked about some of the frustrations of running together. We both run at different paces, and although its nice to be able to control the pace so we can be side by side, it can either be exhausting or stifling for us. I can do more running without tiring as easily; I feel that, when together, sometimes she's ready to stop while I'm not quite ready to do so. And then she feels bad because she feels like she's shortchanging us on the run. And I feel bad because she feels bad. So we both don't feel good about ourselves -- and isn't that the purpose of a good run anyway?

So -- we've been avoiding it. And we haven't brought it up with each other either -- because we've been afraid that it would just keep affirming the simple fact that we're not running.

But last night the topic came up. And we realized both of us really want to start running again on a regular basis. It's just that we have some issues we need to flesh out to make it work.

But that's a start, right? I feel good that we're both on the same page here...

Anyone experience something similar?
