Cheater?

Jesse has started running with a new partner and she is all he talks about. He actually spent most of Christmas day setting up for their first run together.  After only a few runs with her, it is all Jesse wants to talk about, she is so smart, so interesting, she keeps him on pace or challenges him if he wants. She knows all kinds of information about where they are running and his body. It is a little ridiculous and his obsession may be a cause for alarm.

I finally ran with them for our 12 mile run last week. Sure she is interesting, but Jesse spent most of the run talking to her, not me. Then out of no where she told me to speed up! Not cool, not cool at all, even if you are only a watch.

Yes, yes, my husband's new love affair is with his new Garmin Forerunner running watch. It is more of a computer than a watch which is how she knows SO much. If you are in the market for a personal trainer, skip it and buy the watch. Jesse recommends the 310 rather than the 400 series, easier to use and lighter. However if you are thinking of it as a gift for your spouse, I would encourage you to think twice. Do you really want to be replaced?

*An up-date on Chris, due to lack of additional runs, he felt he was not in shape enough for the half marathon in Mexico on New Years Day. He wanted to knock it out of the park if he did a half and at this point, surrounded by family, sitting in the warm sun, drinking a cold beer seemed like a better choice. We couldn't agree more...except we would ask that it be replaced with a chilled glass of wine.
