Today...I did not want to do my run! My back was a little sore, my legs were a little tired, etc...blah, blah, blah. But my hubby, dear old Sean, got me out there. We did our mile and it wasn't pretty. As soon as we started walking, my right calf seemed to seize up. But I continued to walk. Sean stayed by my side, kind of like the geese couple that you see along side of the road. Usually, though, one of them has gotten hit and the other one, it's mate, stays there because they mate for life. Yeah, this was exactly the same, but only different. As far as I know, I didn't get hit by a car. Although, I felt like it.
Anyway, we jogged a little and then power walked. On the way back, he pushed me to jog a little more. Then we made it down the last hill and Sean looked at me, we then started to jog the last bit of our walk. I think that I have jogged more today then all the other walks put together. Thank you for pushing me!
I love you!
Hubby here,
ReplyDeleteNow that the new car smell is wearing off and our work outs are becoming more of a chore than a chance to spend some quality time together we need to push each other more. Even though our aches and pains are different they still hurt and make us wonder why we are doing this, the answer seems to be as overwhelming as the smell of Icy Hot we apply before bed, because we need to get ourselves healthy so we can keep pushing each other though life and become old geese together. We need to keep our chins up and our eye on the prize, no matter how hard the challenge is we can overcome it as long as we work together. I am sure in a few weeks we will find it less challenging to find oxygen at the top of the hills we climb and that we will be jogging more than we are walking.
Keep the encouragement coming it does motivate us to keep moving one step at a time.
Keep up the good work you two! chris- listen to your body though. don't use it as an excuse, but don't hurt yourself either. i'm an example of that. going back to square one is frustrating after reaching certain goals. I'M PROUD OF YOU!!!
